Learn to Write with Ruta: Putting Your Stories on the Page
Thursday October 10, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm CDT
Even though writing scholars like Thomas Newkirk emphasize that narrative is the backbone of all writing, school curricula emphasize argumentative writing instead. How might we create more space for narrative writing? How do we teach it in ways that it does not lose its sparkle once it becomes "schoolified"? Using Ruta Sepetys' book You the Story: A Writer's Guide to Craft through Memory as a mentor text, this session will invite students and teachers to view narrative with a storyteller's eye. Bring your notebook and be prepared to write!
