October 20 is the National Day on Writing, which is sponsored by NCTE. I responded to this via Twitter and also asked my students to respond to why they write.
I believe in writing and the importance of sharing your voice through the written word.
Why do you write?
After everyone responded, we created a "quilt" which displayed our
responses. Quilts are a great way to demonstrate students' work, and visually share thoughts through words and illustrations.
We, as teachers, need to model our own writing and share a love of writing. Be authentic, provide authentic opportunities, but most of all....WRITE!
