"Keep up the great literacy work Colleen. This is the stuff that students find engaging and will remember. Double bonus, this meets a lot of the GLCEs. *Brod will be at MRA 2010"

The room is rearranged, and we are transformed into "The Land of Words"

"Thanks Peggy! Yes, they were bare books! We took time after the "slam" to enjoy some cafe treats and the students shared their anthology with their family, it was wonderful! I teach second, and you?"

Hi, again, Colleen. I also teach second grade...just finished my 25th year. I love the excitement of teaching the writiers' workshop. I became a fan of writing when I joined the NWP at IU Southeast in southern Indiana in 2002 (I think it was 2002). When I went to college, some 40 years aga, I didn't learn about how to teach writing. In fact, the student teachers I've had in the last 5 yeaars don't have a handle on writing yet. I look forward to bouncing some ideas off of you this upcoming year. I love learning new stuff and getting ideas for new children's books to teach writing. Didn't realize until now our last names are the same!

I agree. Not sure kids will appreciate some of it but that might be the magic of it.

Can't wait to hear about your Slam!! Have fun!

NWP--The project usually runs for four to five weeks, 4 days a week, in the summer. It's pretty intensive. After you complete the course, you become a teacher consultant, and you can teach other teachers. Most sites have their own rules and regulations, so I would contact the director for specific questions. Did this help?
