Don’t
miss your chance to register for the Fall 2012 YES! National Student Writing
Competition! The deadline is next Friday,
October 19.
This
competition is a great way to push your students’ writing—and also meet Common
Core Standards. Teachers who submit essays will be entered into a drawing to
win a complete set of 18 YES! Posters for the classroom, valued at $54.
Essays are due no
later than November 21.
Register your class for the competition today! Click here for contest details and sign up.
Students
will read Dee Williams’ YES! story, “Living Large in a Tiny House,” about a woman
who downsized to an 84-square-foot house, and will write essays on what size
and kind of house they would like to live in.
The
contest is under way, but it’s not too late to join. Teachers are telling me
that this story has nudged their students to think about whether they can live
with less and be happy—and to dream a little, too.
Hope
you’ll join us.
Best,
Jing
