A quotation from Penny Kittle on teaching the skill of writing

 Penny writes:  "If you aren't as driven to teach and nurture writers as writing demands, then you'll lose kids who need all of the scaffolding that brings the power of writing well within their reach. Organization leads struggling writers to competence. Writing teachers must be writers and they must be master teachers. When the two come together, kids learn fast... All kids learn with patience, empathy, and good instruction. But the instruction has to come during the process of creating the piece, not in polishing the product, or nothing changes."

• Penny Kittle, "Write Beside Them" (8)

"I now believe you really can't teach writing well unless you write yourself."

Wagon Train of hay going to Teeswater Train Station - unknown year

 This photo is from Jim Whytock's collection of old photos he collected over the years on the history of Teeswater, Ontario.

This photo shows a row of horse drawn sleds carrying hay. The note on the back says, "shipping hay by train." and the photo shows the column of hay stopped on main street in Teeswater apparently going in the direction of the train station.
