Hi MW! This is a writing site that you MUST save to your "favorites" and bookmark on your computer! It doesn't matter your grade or years of experience. :) There is something for everyone on this site that was created by teacher David Stoner. He is the co-director of Indiana University Southeast Writing Project. Stoner is truly passionate about sharing his knowledge and experiences on best practices in writing with other educators.

Here are just a few examples of the many lessons and inspirations that you can unearth on this site:
- "Six Ways to Start a Story" -This lesson is a complement to the varied lessons in grades 3-5 which I have shown different ways to begin a narrative writing piece.
- Anchor Chart for "Taking Good Notes"
- "Thirty Ideas for Writing" - From the National Writing Project
- Example Mentor Text Lesson for What If? by Regina Williams
- Photos for Stoner's anchor charts for writing workshop
Stoner recently revamped and updated his site. I still find interesting sparks on the site, and it's been a "favorite" for awhile. :) Enjoy exploring!
Thanks for introducing your blog on ECNing and for sharing this great resource. I often find myself referring to "sparks" for creativity etc when I'm writing for my blog, and love to find inspiration for reading, writing and learning!
