My Students--Incredible!

When you've had the week I've had, the blog post for the week becomes a piece of cake: just share the students' work.

In my Creative Writing course (three sections, ninety-one students), the culmination of my students' work took form in two varieties: a required public reading and the completion of their hybrid (multi-genre) blogs.

To be short, my students' words--and bravery and vulnerability, too--inspired me.

Please, check out their work here: Public Readings & Hybrid Blogs

THE WORKS--Creative Writing Final Projects

This term, I assigned my first ever hybrid blog. In short, each student in Creative Writing had to use his/her favorite pieces of the term and push them into a blog.

Here they are.
