Writing Well Matters

I've taught composition for a bit more than thirty years. Every day, I read and respond to student papers, and every day I wait for one to awaken me with a committed, original voice, reminding me why writing matters.

Today, I opened an envelope and found these thank-you notes from my 7-year-old great-nephew and his 5-year-old sister.


Lesson re-learned.
