This I believe:
Writing is the single most powerful tool we have to make sense of our lives and the world around us.
Thanks for saving my life in English class forever.

About Roman's Writing Workshop
My promise
I'm going to be the best writing teacher I can be. My class rules are to take care of each other and make good decisions. Other than that, we're going to start with the basics and build up from there. Sharpen your pencils and get some lined paper -- this is going to be fun!
My approach
I use my 5th grade class photo for a lot of avatars because it reminds me that I'm still that little guy somewhere inside. If you don't know what I mean, read Sandra Cisneros's short story "Eleven". So much of what I am doing is teaching the way I wish I had been taught earlier in my life. I have sought out techniques to be the best I can be, and I'm happy to share!
