 * < Google Reader ||< about.com Fiction Writing ||< I teach a Creative Writing elective to seniors. This resource will help to generate some new ideas/prompts. ||
 * < Google Reader ||< Write to Done ||< This is a resource to help the reluctant writer. There are articles on what struggles people face when it comes to writing and then how to overcome them. I teach 9th graders, who need a push in the right direction in order to be successful through high school. ||
 * < Google Reader ||< Quotes - quotes4all.net! ||< Quotes by famous people in history - I like to start class off with a quote for the day. We don't always talk about the significance of the quote; for the most part it is food for thought. ||
 * < Twitter ||< [|BookCalendar] ||< Links to helpful sites, such as information about graphic novels and authors. I am currently working on implementing a graphic novel unit into the 9th grade curriculum. ||
 * < Twitter ||< [|Poetry_Society] ||< Poetry is not everyone's cup of tea. I am thinking it may be helpful to provide poetry a little bit at a time throughout the year. This contains tweets of the following: Happy birthday wish to past and present poets, information about contests, and quotes from poems. ||
 * < Twitter ||< [|Writing Prompts] ||< One activity for creative writing is to take an object or phrase and use that as the catalyst for the story, poem, or play. This contains tweets of several words and phrases to get a writer started. ||
 * < Delicious ||< [|lindapasternak] ||< Links to helpful sites regarding wikis, blogs, comic books, vocabulary, grammar, rubrics, and picture activities (make pictures talk!). ||
 * < Delicious ||< [|cormiek1038] ||< Links primarily containing information regarding the writing process. A variety of prompts and motivating strategies is always a plus. ||
 * < Delicious ||< [|rdobbs07] ||< Links to several journals, including education, English, and technology. There are also sites to aid in teaching literature and writing (specifically the research paper). ||
