A good friend of mine BJ Bagwell referred me to a blog called Literacy in all the Write Spaces that she created for the Southwest Georgia Writing Project (SWGWP). Several contributors are listed on this blog.
This is an excellent source for writing because SWGWP is an affiliate of the National Writing Project.
As I approach this new school year, I am excited about using SWGWP and the National Writing Project blogs as resources for the classroom.
Here is just one example that was on the http://thewriteliteracy.blogspot.com/ blog.
