Provenance
- Where it came from. Daily Writing a Day grew out of TCEA's professional-learning work. It uses the "one page a day" flipbook pattern first built for the TCEA ELE Daily Opener a Day and the Contraband banned-books daily opener.
- Teacher supports. The UDL and ELPS pages are adapted from the teacher-support pages of TCEA's Critical Thinking Online Breakouts. The SST page draws on the Learning Activities Hub roadmap From STAAR to SST and the ACE the SST routine.
- Standards. TEKS, ELPS, and CAST UDL references are aligned to and paraphrased from the official documents, never reproduced. Confirm against the official sources before adoption.
- How it was written. The year plan, Fix It sentences, prompts, and code were produced with the help of generative-AI tools and refined under Miguel Guhlin's direction and editorial review; a human stays in the loop on every decision. Every answer key passed an automated check that its error count matches the corrections, then an independent proofreading pass for correctness and for sentences with more than one fair answer.
- People and places. Names in Fix It sentences are fictional. Places such as Texas cities, rivers, and landmarks are real. Week 24 invites students to write about real leaders they choose.
- Fonts. Andika, Big Shoulders Display, and Bitter, from Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License.
