I am hoping to be involved in a new program here in Sacramento, CA, working with kids to get them writing creatively. The program is called 916 Ink. It is modeled after 826 Valencia, the writing program pioneered by Dave Eggers. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already heard of it! One of the ways they motivate the kids is the projects always end in publishing the kids' best works. They are so thrilled to see their work in print, even if it's a school-made book!Bethaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295652563209174007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873636167406910107.post-4097598535960517172012-07-24T01:27:28.222-04:002012-07-24T01:27:28.222-04:00Carol, your writers in the schools idea sounds amb...Carol, your writers in the schools idea sounds ambitious and wonderful. It takes the Poets in the Schools concept and enlarges it in a way that opens up a larger world to students. I like the idea of more of a "flow" between the genres, anyway, as I think it's more productive sometimes--and this gives kids more options.

I want to contribute to keeping them engaged and feeling like they are important through their own words.Carol Willette Bachofnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851607014763514265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873636167406910107.post-49147802985403762052012-07-21T23:12:17.442-04:002012-07-21T23:12:17.442-04:00How wonderful!!If I can do anything to help I woul...How wonderful!!If I can do anything to help I would love to.
