Melissa Stewart: Teaching Kids the Craft of Writing Nonfiction

Melissa talks about the importance of assimilating all of your research, in order to make your own personal meaning. In her writing workshops, Melissa has students ask these questions about their topic: What is it that resonates with you? What about this person is specifically exciting to you? What are you dying to share with other people? When you focus in on that, your writing will become more engaging.
