I have also created my own small group protocol and the students love it! Thank you for everything. I have used so many things from Summer Institute that I can't write it all here! I hope you're not too homesick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6225463468066449410.post-26955743957094884892013-09-21T11:59:55.333-05:002013-09-21T11:59:55.333-05:00It was great to hear from you!!

You bring such positive energy to a room-and your writing does the same! I remember when I spent a summer abroad in Malaysia a couple of years ago-I was terrified of the challenges I would face accumulating to a new culture and a new country half way around the world!

It looks like you are doing so well, and you look really happy. It is fascinating to hear about the state of the Writing Project in the UK -- we are so blessed. I am really looking forward to hearing about your first week at the schools. You are a pioneer. I am wondering about your vision for sharing what you are doing or if it is too earlyAmy Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066988927163052565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6225463468066449410.post-1418245401395541202013-09-21T09:47:23.016-05:002013-09-21T09:47:23.016-05:00Dear Ms. Daugherty,

We can never, IMO, claim "I know exactly what you mean," but we can feel more poignantly.

This process is inspiring and makes me miss the writing classroom and students' own awakenings to their worlds, their emotions and their courage.<br /><br />Your explanation of comparing your experience to that of an immigrant is powerful.
