Theme: WRITE NOW ( REVISITED)
In order to write effectively, students need to become adept at marshaling appropriate evidence and presenting that evidence in a manner their audience will find both compelling and convincing. How do you help students acquire this skill? How do you employ writing in your own life? What mentor texts have you found valuable for modeling powerful writing? How do you make room for imaginative, creative, narrative writing in your curriculum?
