Sounds like a great trip! I'm sure your students got a lot out of those workshops.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris!
DeleteCongrats on your new website, Kelly. It's fantastic. And thanks again for helping all of us in the "Novel in a Week" class get our story ideas on track. You were just what my story and I needed.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carol! I can't wait to read your finished novel!
DeleteI second what Carol said. Thanks for all your insight and help on my novel. It was a very productive week! And watch out, because I will be bugging you for those editing services.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen! I would love to work more deeply with you and your novel!
DeleteHi Kelly. It sounds like your workshop was rewarding for you and for your students.
ReplyDeleteI love the list of questions that you pose to writers They so capture the essence of good literature and good writing. As I read them, it occurred to me that with a few tweaks, I could use them in my 8th grade English classroom for students who have trouble analyzing literature: What is the initial conflict? How does the writer raise the stakes? What does the protagonist want? How did the author put things in the way of the protagonist? What is the climax?
Thanks for the inspiration (and the mini lesson plan), Kelly!
You are welcome to it, Melissa! Hope you have a great new group of 8th grade students this year!
