Creative Sparks
to ignite the writing process
Years of teaching and coaching cross-country have taught me that writers and runners share a common challenge... it's often hard to get started. Our
Pencil Joggers address this problem with just the right amount of help, an important step in creating "quality time on task" in the writing classroom.
Meaningful prompts fuel the consistent exercise needed for the growth and development of young writers. We add purpose to the process, by offering a simple and secure
venue for the sharing of students' work online. This invitation to "publish" creates confidence and a desire to produce good work.
A Publishing Platform
to make the process more meaningful
Personal improvement (output) is usually a direct function of quality time on task (input). Consistent and meaningful writing practice helps balance both sides of this equation, resulting in positive achievement gains in all areas.
From My Desk to Yours,
Have a Great Year!
Establishing a program that helps a student love writing, while producing quality content is not easy. A "daily writing prompt" has been the first step toward making it happen in my classroom.
