"Words are our most
inexhaustible source of magic."
-J.K. Rowling
Realistic Fiction Narratives are taking over! Flashdrafts are written; revisions have begun. This week, I’m expecting those first drafts to read more and more like final drafts. For some 7th graders, this is an exciting assignment. Academic writing understandably monopolizes a lot of our time, and the opportunity to write stories feels like much needed freedom. Still some students struggle with writing in all its forms. To address this, I’ve created a Thursday afternoon writing group. We’ll be meeting every week from 2:10 - 3:10pm, until the papers are due. The goal is to give a boost to those who are challenged by writing. I’d love to have even more Dragons join me. I am lucky enough to have two rockstar 8th grade writers assisting me to offer up their writing suggestions. Our meetings are both fun and productive. Parents: if your kids would benefit from this, remind them to join us Thursday. Dragons: consider yourself all invited; I’d love to see you there.
