Saturday Morning Writing Prompt: Mary Poppins
A year from this month, a remake of the Mary Poppins movie is coming out.
Imagine Mary Poppins in the 21st Century and write up a description
of her, or a scene with her. How does she change in today’s world? How does she

On Your Marks, Get Set, Write! RRVWP Writing Marathon at NDCTE 2017
Wednesday, August 2, 2017, started like any other day, but
around 2:00, the English teachers at the 2017 North Dakota Council of Teachers
of English trained for a writing marathon and subsequently wrote a writing marathon around Mandan and Bismarck.
Writing marathons are a signature National Writing Project activity in which writers explore places as writers do, by writing!
If you too would like to train for a writing marathon, find the RRVWP writing marathon training resource on Youtube:
Remember that one should never write a marathon without training first!
