Welcome to the April 7, 2019 edition of the Teach Write Writing Round-Up!
Every week, I gather tips for teaching writing and for growing as a teacher who writes and put them right here all in one place.
Be sure that you have joined my email list so you never miss an update!
Now, onto this week's tips!
This look into how Dr. Shari Daniels's notebooks have changed over the years is so intriguing. She shares lots of notebooking ideas and demonstrates quite well that there is no one way to keep a notebook. Tons of inspiration here!
Looking to write some poetry in honor of National Poetry Month? Amy Ludwig Vanderwater and her amazing Poem Farm website is sure to inspire you and your students to write. I also love the Poetry Out Loud website who shares some poetry writing resources for older students.
Do you have a special place where you like to write? Shaunta Grimes explores what makes the best writing space (and it's not what you may think it is) in her post, "How to Set Up Your Writing Space."
Every day in April, Christie Wyman is introducing us to a new, playful way to write poetry. You can find all of her inspirational ideas on her blog, Wondering and Wandering.

With so much emphasis on analytical writing in the classroom, how do we find room for writing fiction? Listen to "FIction Unbound," a podcast from Tom Newkirk and the Heinemann Blog.
