 Welcome: A place for Eagle Writers

 

Welcome to an extension of our 5-8 writing and the 8 Reading classes.

 

Here you will complete assignments in thoughtful ways as you learn how to be excellent writers and readers.

 

Join the journey.

 

"It's never too late to be what you might have been."

George Eliot

 

What might you become? What is important to you? One way to discover these is to write. Writing clarifies thinking, so writing is thinking. Duane Alan Hahn says, " I write to teach myself what I already know."

 

My goal is to help you develop your thinking about ideas and writing so that your writing, wherever it is (school, home, work, WASL), will be the best you can compose at the time.

 

Welcome, and remember what Mark Twain said, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." Think about that , and come to class prepared to think and write!

 

Always check out the LINKS PAGE for all links needed for lessons and assignments.

 

Welcome, thanks, and write....
