Blog Tip Challenge ~ Make It Worth Reading
10:58 PM, Oct. 22, 2008
Once a week I tell my children to write about one word or topic. I've been pretty amazed at what they come up with! With three writers you get three totally different, fascinating accounts about the pickle. I don't allow them to write, "I ate a sweet pickle in my sandwich. It was good but I didn't like the tail." They have to write a story, do some research, or share an event. They have to make it worth their time to write and worth my time to read.
