I have been writing for as long as anyone can remember. Now, I’m teaching the basics of writing, and it’s so much more a fleeting thing. I can teach the concrete grammar skills, but teaching a child to put their ideas down on paper…it’s such an interesting challenge. To teach a child about strong word choice and writing concisely without giving up meaning. It’s really being a great learning experience.
As I am learning to teach children how to write the perfect five-papragraph papers, I am also learning a new writing form while trying to educate adults and teenagers that nonfiction is not a subgenre of fiction. It’s getting pretty intense, and I feel like my life is being overtaken by writing.
