Torture - Final Copy (of ANYTHING!)]]> 2018-01-18 14:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nancy_springer/2a2t7yhv52yy/wish/222440473 rachael_smith1 https://padlet.com/nancy_springer/2a2t7yhv52yy/wish/232497098 Writing in small bursts, giving and receiving feedback, adding creative images, symbols, drawings in the process is not torturous. But training ourselves to let the creative juices flow before editing is hard. What stops the writing process is the self-critique that happens before we even get going--it kills creativity.]]> 2018-02-16 20:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nancy_springer/2a2t7yhv52yy/wish/232497098 rorpin https://padlet.com/nancy_springer/2a2t7yhv52yy/wish/237107194 I am a 5th grade writing teacher and LOVE it! Everything from brainstorming to the final copy. My favorite way to teach writing is by symbolizing parts of paragraphs with different colors. They kids are always shouting out "You need a purple closing sentence!" Something that I struggle with as a writing teacher is getting those kids engaged who claim they are "bad" writers.]]> 2018-03-01 18:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nancy_springer/2a2t7yhv52yy/wish/237107194 jtillberg https://padlet.com/nancy_springer/2a2t7yhv52yy/wish/237107272 USD 400 - 4th grade
