Snow...the ground is all white today. NCTE even closed an hour early. Of course, I just came home and continued working. I'm writing up a lesson that I used to do in FYC. Students explore
Richard Wright's poem "The Writer" then come up with writing metaphors of their own. I've customized it over the year, but it's always been essentially the same lesson. It's fairly basic really, but the Advisory Board for ReadWriteThink pointed out that we needed more "basic" pieces. They noticed that so many of our lessons are pushing teachers. They suggested that we add some basic lessons, so I'm going through my files and pulling out some of the things that I used to teach. They need minor changes, but most are quite close to 9-12 lessons already.
