My students and I would love to share the video. It was recorded on a flip camera which allows us to save as an mp4 (see below). I hope you can open the link below. If not, I will keep trying!

Thank you!
Lori

Well, Lori, looks as if I didn't get this right. You can't upload video on this Ning. You can upload it (up to 30MB) in NCTE's new Connected Community and , of course, on You Tube and send us the link.

Lori, if you'd want to share your video message we'd love to have it. The Ning limits the size of the video it takes to 30MB but if you want to send it along to NCTE, we may be able to post it another way. Millie

I look forward to tomorrow! My bilingual students recorded a multilingual video message that is going to be played for our entire high school in honor of the National Day on Writing!

As you look back on NDOW 2009 and look ahead to NDOW 2010, consider contributing reflections, analyses, and multimedia commentaries to the CCC Online special issue on performance. You'll find details here , and I'm happy to answer questions ahead of the 6/15 proposal deadline.

We had a celebration of Writing at a Las Vegas K-12 school called West Prep. Our Congresswoman Dina Titus who co-sponsored the Congressional Resolution attended and is the gorgeous lady in the fuschia suede jacket (note her "I Published" sticker - although she hasn't YET!). About 100 kids assembled to hear the Congresswoman's remarks about writing and to share their writing with her. Monica Cortez, the assistant principal, organized the whole thing (she's the first person you see in the slideshow), as well as the really wonderful Wall of Writing with all grades and genres mixed together.

We are one of the schools in Colorado Springs District 11. We had two writers in our school. One which was provided by the district and one we brought in. Both were well received by our students and staff! We are also doing the chalk writing (though later in the week - due to all the assemblies we had yesterday with the author visits).

Colorado Springs School District 11 had a "A Writer in Every School" on October 20, 2009. We have 53 schools in our district -- and each one had a local writer spend at least one hour in the building working with and talking with students about writing. 2nd graders in one school created limericks in a workshop environment; 5th graders in one school worked with a local TV reporter to draft a news story; 5th graders in another class had a mock trial, heard a real police officer talk about the notes he took about the crime, then they deliberated using the Judge's (a real judge, too, from the area) "fact sheet" before rendering a verdict; a local high school had performance poets; and one middle school invited back one of their own students (now a high school senior) who has won several local one-act play writing contests. It was an awesome day in D11.
