My new book, Hacking the Writing Workshop: Redesign with Making in Mind, is dedicated to every student that I ever asked to sit down and quiet down in order to put print down.
If you teach writing, then you’ll want to know why I made that apology. And you’ll want to learn how to shake the print resistant writers you know and love out of their seats and onto their feet, where words become loose parts, ideas mix and remix, and complex thinking feels more like play.
Why?
Because we make better writing this way.
This course will launch on June 1, 2018. I’ll build it week by week, and you will find each session posted below as I do.
