I think perhaps I might try to write a poem a day one of the months this summer before I try doing this during school, but you were very brave doing this during school. I will try this with my studetns next year! You have given me much "food for thought!" Thanks for sharing!

I love your grilled cheese analogy, but even more, I love how you transferred your learning about yourself as a writer to your teaching practice and the implications for students.

I wish I could have you all over for a lunch of grilled cheese! I did learn so much, and some I knew as a teacher, but never really firmly as a student!

The fact that you participated in two writing challenges two months in a row is admirable. What's the next challenge?<br />I would like to thank you for leaving comments on my SOLs.

I especially liked the analogy to grilled cheese sandwiches and this part, "Grilled cheeses with ‘what’s on hand’ bread and cheese, at the last minute, are just what you’d imagine, feeds the stomach but not the soul." I often feel like that...not always so proud of what I have written, but at least I wrote. I think, for me, the most important thing I have learned the last few months is the importance of supporting something well done. Even a line or two.Deb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.com
