UWP: Before, During, Beyond

This morning we completed our Teacher Leader Chart which included our professional task before, during, and beyond the Upstate Writing Institute. Now that the before, during, are almost complete, I look forward to the future with UWP!

Writing Marathon Downtown Greenville: 06/26/09

The Highlights of Our Day:

The History of Mice on Main at Falls Park: Dawn read Mice on Main to the UWP participants. Thanks, Dawn!

Greenville County Art Museum: Lot's and lots of writing responses to the elaborate and unique paintings: The Glass House, The Letter, and Shoreline by Andrew Wyth, just to name a few.

Trios: Lunch and more writing!

Coffee Underground: Coffee and sharing writing!

Another great day with the Upstate Writing Project staff and participants!

Thank you, Presenters!

From the Beginning: Using Great Leads to Improve Writing by Jennifer Bryson
This demo inspired me to take a closer look at good and bad leads within each book.
Thank, Jennifer!

What's the Magic Word by Kevin Metz inspired me to write " Your Light Shines Within Me"
Thanks Kevin for encouraging me to write this.

Your Light Shines Within Me

You have given me so much
Words can not say the love I hold fast to my heart for you
You have carried me beyond my wildess imagination
When I am weak, you take me into your bosom
My weeping eyes are comforted by your loving grace
Your precious angels encamp around me
Words can not say the gratitude I have for you
You constantly send your spirit-filled angels of wisdom here on earth to direct my path to the Truth
Words can not say the desire I have to be even closer to you

My Perspective on Your Perspective....Presentation

Anna, great Job! I liked the getting-to-know-you strategy, as well as the Walking in Someone Else's Shoes activity. Based on the students' sample you shared, they enjoyed this too!

The Young Writers....WoW!

It was such a pleasure meeting the prospective authors of the Young Writer's Camp! Janis, Jon Michael, Sara, and Jenna shared an excellent piece of their writing with us, as we shared our writings with them. We collaborated on ideas, and revised our pieces. What a joy!
