Writing History

Who are you as a writer?  What are the memories you have as a writer?  If these are hard to remember try making a timeline for yourself and writing down all of the different memories you have from the earliest to the most recent.  Take some time to write down your history and what you think defines you as a writer.

Reading Reflections

Take some time to reread what you have read in our text through chapter 8.  Choose a line and write to that line to reflect on your thinking as a teacher of writing.  What shifts are you starting to see in terms of your teaching?  They can be very small or very large.  What facilitated this change in your thinking?
