Write a memoir essay.

Two-minute meditation/intention

We are writers…. A classroom philosophy. Find our own voices Honor our own journeys Ownership of our writing

How do assignments honor being real writers in the real world? Practice Brainstorming Time Allow vulnerability and “darkness” Freedom to choose topic Freedom to choose focus Freedom to play with words Challenge to be a part of the writing community Realistic deadlines Conversation about writing

My number one tip for being a great writing teacher…. Write with your students.

Three-minute freewrite to settle our minds Freewriting (our practice) Get past the inner editor that stifles creativity. Three-minute freewrite to settle our minds

Commonplace notebooks

Commonplace Books Let’s do a few writing territories right now.

Learn from real writers Who are still alive And write of current things. What did he do as a writer to make this work?

We read as writers.

Empower writers to build their own tool box. Choose a method to brainstorm for one minute.

The freedom of “Shitty first drafts” Students said this made the most difference to their creativity. Let’s write our own shitty first draft.

Revision: snapshots Barry Lane

I am not their editor. Highlight snapshots & thoughtshots. What was your favorite thing you wrote? What piece of your writing did you most challenged by? What piece do you want to look at today? Give them one, only one editing mistake to look at and fix.

Grading Divide it up to make it more accessible. Below 75% re-do
