Spent a great day yesterday at Pope Pius X School in Portland, Oregon. Met with all students from K-8 and had a rousing good time reading stories, drawing bears, sharing experiences, removing voice from writing, analyzing writing for fluency, thinking of new words for overused ones, and seeing firsthand how kids can write leads as good as published authors. What amazing writers, and outstanding questioners! A good thing, too, since it all comes back to questions: they’re what keep people reading and they’re the foundations for writing.
Pictures coming soon!
