Bud the Teacher

    I’ve got a piece in today’s Fort Collins Coloradoan on fear and writing and basketball.  The best part is that my students were a big piece of this column — I basically gave myself their first writing assignment and was able to model for them what I wanted them to do — take an experience from their lives and relate it to writing — while getting their feedback and participation in my process.  Real life workshopping in action.
    Some days, all the bits of the universe line up — those are the best teaching days.
