Welcome, Writing Groups!

This is the space for you--a designated "responder" each week--to let us know what's going on in your writing group. PLEASE feel free to experiment with genre and style (for example, you might write a bad poem or a birth announcement about your writing group meeting). Your audience is the class, but it is also the whole world. Post with all of that in mind. Your purpose? To share with us the substance of your writing group meeting--the essence of it, what it was all about (stay away from "reporting" to us what actually happened, blow by blow). How is what you are doing related to being a writer and seeing yourself as a writer? How is it related to the teaching of writing to adolescents? So what?
