Start-Up Activity
Ask students what comes to mind when they think of the word publishing. They may think it refers to the books by accomplished authors put into print. But that's not the only way to publish writing.
Read aloud page 55 to broaden their understanding of the term. For students’ writing, publishing simply means “to share their finished writing with others.” English Language Learners may be reluctant to publish pieces, especially to a mainly English-speaking audience. Encourage and support them so they feel confident to take the risk.
Think About It
“No piece of writing, regardless of how much you polish and fuss with it, comes out exactly as you want it to.”
