René Saldaña, Jr.: Creative Writing in the Classroom: Well Worth the Work, Part III, the last
http://renesaldanajr.blogspot.com/2014/01/creative-writing-in-classroom-well.html
René Saldaña, Jr. On Writing, On Reading. Creative Writing in the Classroom: Well Worth the Work, Part III, the last. Or the obsessive free throw shooting by Sticky in Matt de la Peña’s Ball Don’t Lie. From earliest draft of a poem or story clear through to the major revisions to minor ones and on to the final edits? Isn’t this exactly what writing a story should look like? What of your students? Or will theirs be a true apprenticeship into what it means to be a writer? René Saldaña, Jr. Matt de la Peña.

René Saldaña, Jr. On Writing, On Reading. Goalie work: Mikah wearing the mitts. A pivotal game for LBK FC 06, the boys are tied and have to go to Penalty Kicks (PKs). Mikah's at the goal and for all intents and purposes, he does a great job. He stopped all but two shots. There is a question about one of the shots our boys took: does it go in or does it not?
