Describe the way(s) this program impacts your students learning and how this arts experience correlates with your curriculum: |
|
The visit from the 4th-grade author had a meaningful impact on my students’ learning by making the writing process more tangible and inspiring. Hearing directly from a peer author helped my students see that strong writing and creativity aren’t limited to adults—they’re achievable at their own age level. This encouraged many of them to take more ownership of their writing, experiment with descriptive language, and express their own ideas more confidently.
