Thank you for stopping by to check out this week's Writing Round-Up! The long, lazy days of summer are the perfect time for your own writing. Taking advantage of this time will provide you with a plethora of writing examples to share with your students come fall. We hope you find some ideas here to help you along your way!
In this guest post on Two Writing Teachers, Katie Gordon shares how to use summer to set writing goals, find an audience, and set a schedule for writing.
Don't know what to write about? Todd Finley from Edutopia shares 50 Writing Prompts for All Grade Levels that can get you started. (And these aren't just for students....)
Author and writing mentor Ralph Fletcher shares how he uses his writer's notebook as a place to collect the "stuff" of life in this Writing Masters post from Heinemann. As you go about your summer days, why not capture some of your stuff (observations, sketches, anecdotes, etc.) in your own notebook?
Every Sunday, the Writing Round-Up shares a few of our favorite finds about teaching writing and other topics of interest to writing teachers.
Find these ideas helpful? We would love it if you would share it on your social media or email it to a friend.
