Use the link above to help you start brainstorming who you are as a writer. Even though the link is an example of reading attributes, it can help us frame our thinking for our writing too. If you are having trouble getting started think about what your habits are when you write, what do you like, what do you dislike, what is easy for you, what is difficult, where do you get your writing ideas, what are your favorite stories or information to tell, do you like a certain genre, etc. There are so many things that make us writers! I can't wait to hear yours!

I don't feel like I'm a good writing teacher.
I often get hung up on grammar and spelling rather than the writing piece as a whole.

2. Writing is my favorite subject to teach.
I write text messages.
Emails

100 Things About Me As A Writer
1. I don’t see myself as a creative writer, most of my personal experience has been writing in a journal.
2. I mostly hated writing in college because I was told exactly what I had to write on every paper.
3. My favorite writing project in middle school was a persuasive essay on abortion. I had to defend abortions with the research to back it up.
4. Lately, my writing has consisted of creating documents solely for educational purposes.
5. I love writing in my daughter’s baby book!
6. I like writing poems with my students.
7. I miss doing interactive writing lessons with my first graders.
8. I wish I had more time to write at home.

10. I love writing projects that I can choose my own way of presenting the information.
I still have the book I wrote when I was invited to the Young Authors Conference. I think I was in 4-5 grade. I thought that was the coolest thing that I was chosen.
1. I don’t view myself as a good writer.
2. This is an area of my teaching that I want to improve upon.
