Writing is about making meaning and communication - the struggle to make sense. The classrooms I visit seem to have too much of a focus on the bits rather than the whole - I'm more interested in developing the imagination, creativity and the importance of story as a primary act of mind. Hope your teaching flourishes. Im on facebook if you want to keep in touch with a group of likeminded teachers. You have it all there…. the focus has to be on composition – having something to say.
