~:[CH13 - Day 288]:~ Written in the Stars
It was cool to receive the book written by Hina. It's great to see how people display a range of talents and in this case, a singer and a writer. Writing is not an easy thing, even if it's a book for children. The word choices, structure and style are all important. As I spent the day at the district today, our focus was on just that, writing. We gave an essay over a week ago and we got to evaluate them and look at various strategies to help them to write better. Through MUN, we already work on students and their writing as they're forced to learn to research and how to make that into a great paper. Still yet, with different styles of writing, success in positions papers doesn't always result in success everywhere else. Overall, the essays of my students ended up being pretty good and I was happy to see their progression even in this short span on how comfortable they are with writing. Maybe one of them will become a published writer, however, even if not, I hope that they learn to write with confidence and at the very least, be able to write a piece they can be proud of. As I flipped through the pages of the book, I smiled knowing the immense range of talents it took to create this and excited for the next chapter in her writing journey, just as much as I am for the next stage for my students. Who knows what's ahead, but I'm sure it's written somewhere up there amongst the stars.
