Developing Writers: A Workshop for High School Teachers
Learning from Professional Writers (#107)
What can young writers learn from those who make their living through writing? Educators, researchers, and noted authors offer innovative ways to bring the voice of the professional into the classroom. Teachers show how professional works by favorite writers can be the seeds for engaging classroom activities, while authors talk about their own writing processes and writing heroes. Maxine Hong Kingston, Patrick Jennings, Margo Jefferson, Christopher Meyers, Amy Tan, Ruthanne Lum McCunn, and Tracy Mack appear in this program.
