Write About
Using social media to inspire writers
Why Write About?
Writing should be fun for students. It's sparked from student curiosity. Often that curiosity is sparked from an image, a scenario or a critical question. Children begin to appreciate writing when they can choose their own focus and express their voice for an authentic audience.
