Last night I spent time with the Eastern Michigan Writing Project #nwp and we talked about a few things.
1. English classrooms do not look like other classrooms. Students are not all doing the same things: we are making art out of the individual ingredients of our lives.

2. When we write what we ask our students to write we find the blind corners in our planning--can project where some of the problems will be for students. Teacher writing is not extra; it's essential.
3. We show students one way to work as writers: we model the messy, challenging way that we found to craft meaning. Our authentic joy in struggling to write well TEACHES.
