My Project

As an educator in charge of middle school writing it is my goal to empower our young people with old fashioned writing skills and techniques that work in today’s modern world. Good writing hasn’t changed, only the technology has evolved.

Students need top quality instruction to produce top quality writing products.

That’s what we are seeking….instructional materials and composition notebooks. We want to use pencil and paper as well as technology to produce advanced writing products.

If you would like to help us obtain resources we would appreciate any and all assistance.
