Final Visitor Sticker Update

Now that I will be unable to attend any other workshops for the remainder of the semester, I thought I would share my visitor sticker collection. Most schools gave stickers such as these, which I tried my best to keep in my internship notebook. Though, some schools did have physical badges that had to be returned. The yellow stickers were from Cape Elizabeth, the red-lined from Wells JH, and the plain visitor stickers from Mast Landing. These workshops helped me get a well-rounded view of what it is like to teach at different grade levels (4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 10th), and I am grateful for the opportunity to get such a wide range from the workshops alone.

Exquisite Corpse Activity

On the final day of Publishing Workshop we had a celebration of all the work the students did towards the anthology, along with playing some games. This game is pretty self-explanatory, but after creating these characters, everyone had to write a story about their character. This is the character I had, but there were some very interesting ones. Overall, it is great to see what activities I might want to use as writing exercises in my future classroom, and this was a good (and fun) one.

Works in Progress Celebration

For the final day of Works in Progress, the students held a reading of their works. I mainly helped with set up and clean up, but it was amazing to hear the stories or parts of narratives that they had been working on all semester. Students also brought friends and family as their audience, it was great to see them coming out to support these students and their love for writing.
