“Is writing important?” A common question at the beginning of the year in my classroom. Many students dread writing and don’t understand why writing is so important. So I spend the first weeks of school (and the entire year) showing students why writing is so important. 

As ELA teachers, we have the task of guiding students through the writing process to be effective communicators and successful writers in all other subjects and life! Writing is such an essential skill, so students need to understand why writing is so important.
