What we already know about the teaching of writing...

Since I have not yet taught writing I do not know all that there is to know about it... However, I do know that it is something you as a teacher have to be compassionate about, and that you have to teach your students to be compassionate about as well. It is wanting to write, about something that has happened or something that you imagine and putting all of the writers feelings and emotions into the writing. Teaching writing is to be articulate and experimental. If something doesn’t work the first time then try something else again until you get it correct and it grabs the readers and your own attention. Teaching is about putting an impact on a students life forever, whether it be teaching writing, math, or history… The job of a teacher is to make the students want to learn and improve and to enjoy it.
