Welcome back to this week's edition of the Writing Round-Up where we highlight some of our favorite tips for teaching writing and being a teacher-writer. Let's get started!
Tips for Teaching Writers
Beginning a new school year of writing is tough, especially if your students haven't been writing over the summer. In this post from Middleweb, Regie Routman shares 10 tips to help students get over writing roadblocks so they can get writing.
In this article from Edutopia, Joshua Block shares how he helped his students get out of the habit of structured essay writing to learn to express their ideas in different ways. It is an interesting read and provides lots of food for thought as we think about how we will teach writing in the new school year.
