"What would happen if we focus on our voice as writers and thinkers in class?"
"We'd get to speak our mind!"
"Write about ourselves..."
"Be honest?"
I shared with Cohort 8B that I am involved in a project to see how we could change our writing work so that we could focus on our voice. I started with the question above, and without even soliciting received the responses below, among other responses...
As I shared with my class, I informed them that I don't know entirely what this would look like...that's why there is a question and we are exploring.
DE: "That's alright, we'll help you Ms. Wang..."
I explained that I want to explore this topic because it is important to me and I want to explore it with 8B; "I think we can work together to figure some stuff out...whatever that stuff might be..."
ID: "Thank you Ms. Wang!"
Chuckle. (They're thanking me?? THANK YOU!)
Let's see how this all goes down...
