strategies, it emphasizes the “why” of writing. Why write, and why strive to be a better writer? Among the reasons, Fisher says, are to be understood by others, to leave something of yourself behind for others, and, from a practical standpoint, to get your job done and make money. A student’s first priority should be to write with purpose and inten- tion. Once he has put the heart of his message on paper, he and his teacher focus on improving the quality of his writing by applying the skills he learns from mini lessons. To illustrate the point, Fisher shared a narrative written by a fifth grader: The story started with a seem- ingly ordinary event, a friend opening a bag of potato chips. But it was no ordinary opening. The bag “ex- ploded,” sending chips flying When Penny Fisher was taught writing, she produced everywhere, wedging into the car- what she thought the teacher wanted. The process now pet, the furniture, the clothing, and builds on subjects that matter to students. the hair of those present.
