BPR Chapter 11-13
This I believe...that writing can open up your emotions, your passions, and it is a pathway to your soul. By writing, the author can verbalize emotions that my otherwise go unrecognized; can stimulate the brain to open up memories, or even prior knowledge and connections. For a student to be successful in any subject area, the brain has to be awakened from slumber. One sure way to engage the brain is to stimulate it with memories, feelings, opinions, thoughts, and questions. What better way to begin this than by writing? Even in math classes, students can learn better if they are emotionally connected to the lesson. Writing connects us to everything.

Well said Laura. I agree that we need to stimulate students brains! Its funny that whenever I am given an open ended writing assignment, my pen goes crazy and I just keep writing.
