Writing projects can feel like a distraction, unless we look at the ways in which projects increase learning for students, and the ways in which we can integrate them into our calendars without losing teaching time for skills or content that we need to cover.
This week, we're joined by participants from all levels of our signature writing projects — Meg Davis, one of our K-12 coaches; Vicky Beswick, an NYC DOE teacher; and Juan Filan & Deylin Pena-Rodriguez — two 9th grade students who established their voices as student authors throughout the writing process.
