Author Melissa Stewart teaches students to build their endurance as writers by sharing her own story of receiving manuscript rejection letters and persevering through revisions. Read more here.
Teacher-writer Sue Rounds shares how she records the noticings of the world around her and has taught her students to do the same in "Come Flaneur with Me." There are definite digital applications here too!

How can you teach students to use events from their own life and fictionalize them? Teacher-writer David Lee Fitz explains how in "Teaching Students to Write Autobiographical Fiction."
If you have a story about being a teacher-writer or would like to share a writing experience from your classroom, we want to know about it for possible publication on the Teach Write Blog.
