  A2) Simply ask "What would you like to write about today? What's inspiring you?" I find free write can produce their best work #HackLearning

@acottos @carlameyrink I'm gonna vote yes. Let Ss blog. Gives them an authentic audience. :) #HackLearning

TonySinanis Jun 5 @ 8:59 AM EDT

If we want kids to develop a love for writing we must do 2 things: write everyday so it becomes "habitual" & give them choice! #HackLearning

MrsSokolowski Jun 5 @ 8:59 AM EDT

@brianrozinsky This is so true! I did a blogging club & kids not used to picking own topics felt a little lost at first. #HackLearning

Phillip_Cowell Jun 5 @ 8:59 AM EDT

I so agree. The starting point of writing, surely, is having something to write about! #HackLearning https://t.co/WR97zcc7jP

barrykid1 Jun 5 @ 8:58 AM EDT
and that gives them something to write about! how about a "Diary of Boredom'? #HackLearning https://t.co/zwKQxcXz2O

  I often ask resistant writers what they'd rather be doing other than writing. Inspires. #HackLearning https://t.co/sOzpWsiKd4

kimmykcollins Jun 5 @ 8:59 AM EDT

A3 when given free choice how many Ss don't know what to write- so used to being told what they need to write! #HackLearning

cvarsalona Jun 5 @ 8:59 AM EDT

@markbarnes19 Choice leads t voice. Inspiration to write is open-ended journey. #HackLearning

I've learned that when you give an uninspired writing assignment, that's exactly what you'll get turned in. #hacklearning
