Fun and Games in Writing in the Classroom

December 18, 2019 By Laura

Hi, teachers! I’m sharing some thoughts on how using some game strategies in your classroom can free kids up to be braver, more creative writers. You can check it out at Mackin’s Teacher Talk blog here. Enjoy!

“As a former eighth-grade English teacher, I realize that you have SO MUCH to fit into so little time. But with my own writing and on author visits, I find these techniques produce riskier, deeper, wilder, more creative work. Maybe you’ll find something here you can implement with your own students.” More here.

MAY NEWS

All 3 of my 2023 books are out now! Thank you to everyone who's celebrated with me, shared the books, or read/reviewed them. <3

Right now, I'm recovering from National Poetry Month! I'm also working on 2 tricky picture book revisions, and I'm preparing for a bunch of speaking events and storytimes! Join Yvonne Pearson and I for two loon-themed outdoor storytimes on June 6 and August 1. And on July 14, I'll be storying up a storm at Robert Trail Library! Hope to see you there!
