“It was not until I began reading about teaching writing that I realized that those morning gab sessions were responsible for this excellent writing. Whereas I thought we were “stealing” writing time to talk, we were really practicing the art of storytelling. We were prewriting, planning, and thinking . . . like writers.” Erin (Pirnot) Ciccone
