Have you resolved to write alongside your students this year? (If you haven’t considered it yet, then check out Lanny Ball’s post, which might inspire you to make that a goal for the 2018-19 school year.) If so, engaging in low-stakes writing of your own — in a writer’s notebook or on a blog — is a perfect way to build your own writing muscles (apart from the writing you’ll do in service of the units of study you teach).
Join us today and any Tuesday year-round for our weekly writing challenge. All you have to do is write a post on your blog, share the link to it (in the comments below), and give at least three other participants’ comments on their blog.
Click here for more information.
I wrote a new blog post about my writing journey with my class! Check it out: https://pencilpaper643456671.wordpress.com
