In this episode, I chat with Erlend Klouman Høiner, a former teacher and co-founder of WeWillWrite, and Bonnie Watson, a fourth grade language arts teacher, about making back-to-school writing something students beg to do. You'll also hear how short, live writing sessions put every student on equal footing, why building a writing routine from the first weeks of school pays off all year long, and how anonymous peer voting helps students see models of strong writing from their own classmates. If you want a low-prep way to energize writing in your classroom this school year, this episode has you covered!
