Put your ideas on paper and watch them grow.

"Writing is a step-by-step process that must concern itself with the means as well as with the ends. Consequently, our chief goal in teaching writing is to produce critical, competent, clear thinkers. If we teach students to organize their ideas coherently and to analyze them for merit and validity, we will have good writers."
Diane Sheppard, English

"Through writing, students have the opportunity to explore themselves: who they are, what they believe in, why they think as they do. These are significant--and often profound--discoveries; the act of putting them on paper clarifies them and deepens their meaning. "
Kerry Smith, English
