Writing Assignments

Writing is not always fun. Sometimes it means explaining an answer on a test and communicating all that you know about a subject. But writing doesn't always have to be "work". Sometimes writing is as simple as leaving a note or making a shopping list. Other times it is writing something that YOU want to do. You may want to share it and you may not. It may be just a way for you to check out your thinking. But if you do like to write or have written something that you are very proud of, then there are some great places to share this writing with others. For example, the University of Connecticut is home to the Connecticut Writing Project and each year this group of teachers/writers puts together a Student Writers Magazine with writing collected from CT students. So do you have a piece of writing to share? If so, go see your LA teacher and get an application and more directions.

There is also the National Council of Teachers of English and their creation, The National Gallery of Writing. MMS has its own local gallery within the National Gallery, so if you want to submit ONE piece see Mrs. Menton or your LA teacher.

I will add other ideas later. Mrs. M.
