Today’s podcast is a reflection on a writing assignment that I’m currently working through with my 10th grade writing course. The project involves creating character sketches of fictitious students that might go to our school, and then using those characters to tell stories about our school, all in the pursuit of truth via fiction. Sound confusing? Well, yeah. It is. That’s why I’m reflecting on how it’s going. Please share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns here!

Bud, thanks for all of the great thinking and creating that goes on here. I’d also like to say thanks for taking the time to follow the link to my former student’s blog and leaving a comment to encourage her. It is a sign of a true educator!
