National Day on Writing
October 20, 2009
Local writing project sites can now celebrate the National Day on Writing by featuring the work of teachers in their own local gallery of writing.
The local galleries will be part of the National Gallery of Writing, a digital archive of compositions available through a free, searchable website. The Gallery will be "unveiled" to the public on the National Day on Writing, October, 20, 2009.
The National Day on Writing, which is being supported by the National Writing Project in partnership with the National Council of Teachers of English and other organizations, is a day to celebrate the foundational place of writing in Americans' personal, professional, and civic lives, and to point to the importance of writing instruction and practice at every grade level, for every student and in every subject area from preschool through university.
