2003
Summer Institute at South
Charleston High School
It's impossible to convince people who
haven't been through it just how much fun it is be a part of a Writing
Project Summer Institute. It sounds like hard work, and it is, but
writing and sharing and laughing and crying together make the experience much
more than any regular class: the writing project brings teachers together to
share their best practices and go back to their classrooms renewed,
refreshed, and excited to try out new ideas.
