I thought about doing that writing project at UWM two summers ago, but wasn't able to afford it at the time. I am glad to hear that you felt it was worthwhile...I might try again next summer :)Andrea https://www.blogger.com/profile/12851457862977465669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678514486069553970.post-89255393942821291042013-10-12T19:00:23.078-05:002013-10-12T19:00:23.078-05:00Love your post and passion for writing.

This kind of reflection is important fuel to keep us growing as teachers. I'm so glad to "meet" a fellow junkie of teaching writers. I think teaching writers is one of the very best ways to spend a day.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />RuthRuth Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691244229499772525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678514486069553970.post-54157827591257158802013-10-12T16:58:15.873-05:002013-10-12T16:58:15.873-05:00Your writing obsession has inspired my own writing...Your writing obsession has inspired my own writing obsession for my students!

I had to smile when I read that part about you hearing one of your students say that he wanted to add onomatopoeia to his writing. : ) : ) This is what I LIVE for as a writing teacher. I think I will check out that blog you suggested. As a writer myself, I'm always looking for ways to inspire the kids and teach them how to make writing fun.
