Create a Community of Writers: Chapters 1-10
I love the Tsujimoto quote Burke uses on page 5 which reads, "There must be a sense that something is going on, that something is always about to happen, that each day is an occasion to which every member of that class community must rise, for the work is important, the time is short, and the stakes are high." If there is always that feeling in my classroom, then what student would not want to learn? Is there a part that really speaks to you as a teacher?
What did this portion of Writing Reminders teach you or make you think about?
How will this change or reinforce the way you teach writing or think about writing?
Did you try out any of the strategies with your students? If so, how did it go?
