Author Laura Van Prooyen on Writing and Teaching Poetry

In this episode of Write Answers, we talk to Abbie Rudibaugh about teaching students a more meaningful way to approach revision. Abbie has slowed the pace of her Writing units to introduce students to revision strategies that real authors use. In this strategy-packed conversation, Abbie explains the way she lays out revision processes for each piece of writing her students complete–and where she has students go with their revision work by the end of the school year.

If you have an interesting way that you teach students to engage in a more authentic writing process, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to Noah at noah.waspe@gmail.com

“Light Shine” by Tim Reisert
 
Wherever you think of
the wisp of the willow
and the trail of the wind
toward the distant light shine,
feel your way around 
the trunk of the maple,
then ease into the shadow,
the wing movement of a luna,
the now-tired swell of locusts,
to then rest in the pillow moss and
dry leaves and hard root.
