I’ve spent much of the summer working with teachers who are eager to integrate making and writing but uncertain where to begin.
This is what I tell them:
I tell them that making must elevate writing, otherwise it will merely replace it. And writing matters.
I tell them that we need frameworks that help us see how making and writing can connect inside of our classrooms and workshops. Making writing looks like play, but it’s purposeful. Intentional.
I tell them that we need tools and strategies and protocols that inspire complex, creative, and high quality work.
I tell them that for all of these reasons, planning matters.
Planning really matters. So, this is where my return to blogging will begin.
