Chautauqua is camp for grown ups. We've spent this week meeting people from all walks of life from all over the world. Our networking has offered us future opportunities such as:
1. Writing a proposal to present together at a professional teacher's conference. We have a team, a plan, and a proposal to write.
2. Connecting our classrooms via video and skype with children's authors and editors next school year.
3. Finding critique partners to work with on our own writing via the Internet.
4. Opening doors to send our manuscripts to editors in the future.
5. Creating relationships with an author who has rich material for teachers and helping to provide an outlet for sharing.
These are the building blocks of future opportunities and experiences to enrich our writing lives and our classrooms.
