BLC2010: Angela Maiers’ Presentation:”Writing for Real”
Angela Maiers, Independent Consultant, Des Moines, IA
Session Description:
“Writing is not just a school subject. Writing is lifework. Writing about our lives, living what we write and understanding the power of our words is what makes us human. We can no longer afford to teach writing and reading divorced from real life. If our students are to know writing in this way, the experiences they have as writers in school must mirror both the intellectual and emotional work of real writers. This session will explore lessons, resources and new technologies that prepare our students for the lifework of writing and empower them with the confidence and excitement to share their voices with the world!”
