Writing is one of my favorite things to do.
Hi! My love of writing started from English assignments that I was required to do while in school. I especially enjoyed keeping a private journal, because I felt like my journal was my friend. That is why I have boxes of notebooks, filled with rings of yellowed papers from years past.
One particular teacher encouraged me to write, because of her positive feedback, especially in regards to my poetry.
One particular college instructor encouraged me to write because of his negative comment about my poetry. He wrote on one of my poems, one that I had previously sold, "Meter, Meter, take a stick and beat her!"
I smile now, because I learned from this instructor and now my words flow smoother.
What's my point? I think it is great that you require your students to write.

They should write as well as they can chatter. I've heard that journaling is the easiest start to get someone writing.
Ben.
