Harvesting Your Writing

Monday, 30 April 2012 by TOSBlog

Enticing the Reluctant Writer

Monday, 30 April 2012 by TOSBlog
Excuses echo the halls of our homes when we try to teach our children how to write. After all, you can lead a child to paper, but you can’t make him write. Children are reluctant to write for a variety of reasons. Before exploring them, take a look at your own history with writing. Often,

But it’s so… so… Awkward!

Monday, 30 April 2012 by TOSBlog
  Awkward. Even the spelling of the word is disturbing. If we look back, we likely have memories of high school or college teachers having scribbled the ugly “Awk” word in the margin of our paper, leaving us with the tremendously helpful insight that whatever it was we were trying to communicate didn’t quite work.

Monday, 30 April 2012 by TOSBlog
With today’s technology we can send messages across the world in three seconds. In this fast-paced world, who needs to write a letter? With email, fax machines, and telephones (and the list goes on), who needs a good old-fashioned piece of paper and a pencil? Unfortunately, this is the view of most people today. According
