Poetic Creativity
Another of our WMWP teachers was featured in the Springfield Republican this past week. Diana Roy, who now coordinates the partnership between the newspaper and our writing project site, showcased some of her students as poets.
Diana begins her piece by asking:
“In this age of high stakes testing, some wonder if a place exists in middle school English education for creative writing. After all, students are held accountable for reading in all genres and for writing in response to literature or to an essay prompt, but is there time for a skill that is not tested?“
