Day 1, Week Four of the Ozarks Writing Project Summer Institute

We wrote and shared writing this morning.  Here were some of the "big" questions:

1. How do we instill in our writing students a love of writing?

2. How we think about assessment has changed. --Cody

3. How do we push ourselves to write beyond the Summer Institute? --Vanessa

4. Writing is an exercise in understanding where we are coming from. --Tanya

5. Writing helps us dig deeper in ourselves--and throw out the garbage. --Tanya

6. Moving fish tanks is not fun.

7. Graphic novel literacy.

8. Why aren't kids writing? How do we get them to write? And, how do we assess it?
