What If Kids Wrote and Published?

Video I created... The gist: we have to stop our educational bad habit of making kids do contrived exercises intended to prepare them to write in the (unlikely) event they might ever want to! We MUST change instruction to "fostering" learning by engaging kids in writing and producing real, authentic publications!

Writing instruction can be vastly improved by engaging students in writing and publishing real books and magazine! Education, in turn, will be transformed as students become authentic writers!
