Adolescent Writing
“In learning to write, students are invited, compelled really,
to make sense of the world, weigh ideas, explore values,
find their own convictions, invent voices, styles,
and personae on a page –
and then test everything out by communicating with others,
sharing writing, and exchanging responses.
For teachers, writing is the most wonderful and meaningful subject to teach because it invites us to know each of our students in a deeply personal way.”
