I believe that when we build adolescents' scribal identities—writers with diverse abilities, backgrounds, cultures, and interests—we reveal the power they hold to practice writing that is meaningful and relevant to their lives and the world.
Once students come to view themselves as scribes, they understand why their writing matters, and they want to write.
Hola, soy Joseph Rodríguez.
Creo que cuando construimos las identidades de escribanos de adolescentes (escritores con diversas habilidades, orígenes, culturas e intereses) revelamos el poder que tienen para practicar una escritura que sea significativa y relevante para sus vidas y el mundo.
Una vez que los estudiantes llegan a verse a sí mismos como escribanos, comprenden por qué su escritura es importante y quieren escribir.
