Welcome to the September 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.

Now, onto this week's tips!

Writing with your students is a powerful practice -- and can lead to amazing results. Teacher (and now author!) Clare Rees shares more in her post, "What I Learnt From Writing a Novel for My GCSC Students."
