My Project

CMS students are fantastic learners. I am always looking to increase their passion for reading and taking notes. Furthermore, I want them to write freely.

The Writing Project will tap into the student learner to become the student creator.

We will write with Paperpamate pens and composition notebooks using various forms such as Historical fiction, fiction, biographies, and selective poetry documents. We will save any research notes in Jam Folders.

Our first project will be based on the Slain Civil Workers. Students will write from the prospective of one of the Slain Civil rights workers. The goal is to write and learn a portion of history.

Let Writing begin. Go Falcons!
