Hi! Lots of my students this year are really gifted writers in many ways, and they have created a genuinely supportive community of writers. This is all very cool, obviously, and I'm very proud of them.
However, as we get into the year, an increasing number of kids are telling me they love getting stories started, but have a hard time sustaining them right through the end. Some of them, to be fair, have stories that are getting to be more like short novellas, but still incomplete. How do you all work effectively with students to get them to complete work they've begun rather than always starting something new? I can't help but think that would be a useful skill for them to acquire. Take care, Bill _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
