Trying to Develop a Blogging Habit
Well I’m trying to develop a habit of writing on my blog. Like I tell my students with their journals, writing is like exercise–it’s a lot harder to do if you don’t do it consistently.
Last time I reported a long list of projects I want to work on. I’ve started working on some of them. The one that I’m most happy with is the idea for a writing group. I’ve approached some teachers in my department and three of them have expressed interest in starting a writing group. In fact, those three are all as excited as I am, which is great. We’re going to meet sometime next week to discuss what we might want to do and then put out a memo to all faculty, inviting them to join us. I think it would be great to get some teachers from other departments, too. We’ll see how it goes, but I’m very excited.
I was inspired to start this project from a presenation at NCTE, so I e-mailed Penny Kittle (one of the presenters) and she sent me a couple articles she had written about writing groups and a very helpful e-mail. Apparently she’s written a few books published by Heinemann, too, though I have yet to read any of them.
I’ll let you know how our groups gets on. Wish us the best.
