If you're an English teacher and the only change you make this year is to start centering poetry?
I really can't think of a better change to make.

Great essay about books in schools that raises a good question: does the fact that writing is easier to standardize justify having it occupy so much more of our weekly/yearly work?

Today's conversation: Writing is not the production of written words. Writing is a deeply embodied, multimodal process, and when we fail to treat it this way, we fail to serve many young writers well. We need to MAKE and SPEAK throughout the process, not only in rehearsal. Writing is design. :)
