I am so grateful for the time and thoughtfulness that goes into Teachers Write. I participate in some of the writing during Teachers Write but use the ideas, prompts, and encouragement year round for my own writing and for the young writers group I support at our library. Many many thanks. I will think about my goals and share them later. Pam Tallmadge

Monday - Setting - using pictures from outdoor magazine (LLBean catalog) describe the scene using your 5 sense. Now add your characters
Tuesday - 10 Common Word choices - list of “common” words: happy, sad, house, etc, using thesaurus, look up synonym and antonym replacements. Compose your new fabulously worded sentence using a new word choice.
Wednesday - Non-Fiction - 5 minute brainstorm of categories - space, revolutionary war, diseases - 3 minute brainstorm of specific topics in the category. Then some on-line research to use for writing.
Thursday - Opinion Partner Write - one for the other student against
Friday - “If I could Go Back in Time” - who would you want to meet - what do you think they were like, now research an aspect of their life to report
