Student's express themselves with drawings, songs, and writing. I hope this will engage students to write imaginative stories along side their drawings.

Writing has multiple purposes in the classroom to help students grow and learn. Expression is but a small piece, but I really liked how writing was described as a method for students to create and explore their thinking. For me, my thoughts are always made much more clear (to myself) after I have a chance to write.

Teachers should help students use writing as an outlet for expressing their inner creativity, knowledge, and thoughts.

I find this quote very profound. I generally feel that I am teaching writing for the sake of writing but using it as a tool for learning changes the way I think about teaching it.

We write with various purposes in mind, to discover, to create to remember.

Writing comes in many different forms and concepts.  It allows the possibilities in our mind to release.

Tom Romano's quote reminds me that writing takes on many purposes and I should not think of it solely as a separate subject but a continuum.

Writing doesn't always mean an essay, and this quote speaks to the various purposes that students can engage with writing. I love to find new ways to get student's interacting with words.

We have pen pals this year. Kids love reading and answering the questions their pen pals write. Can we write back to our pen pal today?

I would like to add more content writing into my teaching.

I love the part where it says, "engage in imagination." I always hear, "I don't know what to write." Letting them have the freedom to be creative and use their imaginations hopefully builds writing confidence.

I do enjoy reading my students' work because I really get to experience their very unique view point.

I think that students dislike writing because they are usually forced to write about things that do not interest them.

Writing is a tool teachers can use to help them make a connection with themselves, others, or subject matter.  Each student should feel like a competent writer despite their level.

Writing can be integrated into any content area.

Students don't always have to be writing narratives.

I like that there are so many different reasons to write. It's not always about essays or stories.

# data[].attributes.body
Students often have difficulty expressing themselves verbally but also seem to struggle with ideas and taking risks with these ideas. I try to find opportunities for students to write freely because some have ideas that cannot be expressed when confined to set topic or idea.

I get excited when students try an author's technique in their writing!
