Writing program stretches across generations
By Lorraine Sciuto-Ballasy 01/21/2005
Everyone has a story to tell.
For many people, the desire to transform their personal tale into a written memoir they can share becomes stronger with age.
As fine facial lines deepen and strands of gray hair begin to converge to form a silvery halo, the urge often intensifies.
By the time older folks officially reach their golden years, the emergence of the first signs of aging has become an accepted fact of life, the shock of it all worn away by time. And amazingly, in spite of all the changes, memories from long ago still remain intact, waiting to be told.

Late poet's fans invited to birthday celebration
Every morning, for 50 years (50 years!), William Stafford started his day not by reading the headlines but by looking out the window and writing a poem.
It didn't have to be a complete poem or even a good one. The point was to welcome whatever arrived — words and images that would never have come if he hadn't sat down to write in the first place.

Schools 'are wasting their time teaching grammar'
Schools 'are wasting their time teaching grammar'
By Sarah Cassidy, Education Correspondent
19 January 2005
Schools are wasting their time teaching children the rules of English grammar because there is no evidence that it has any impact on pupils' writing skills, a government-funded study has concluded.
Ministers should cut back the teaching of formal grammar and let children "learn to write by writing", academics from the University of York said.
They called for a review of the national curriculum, arguing that there was little evidence that grammar teaching was "worth the time" spent on it.
The findings were dismissed by traditionalists as "absolute nonsense" and an attempt by academics to reintroduce the "trendy" teaching methods of the 1960s.

Writing student 'Profits' from George's teaching
Writing student 'Profits' from George's teaching
By Chad Greene
Staff writer
Elizabeth George's love of teaching has led her out of the classroom and into the family room.
Although the Orange County author retired from her previous career as a high school English instructor shortly after selling "A Great Deliverance," the first mystery in her best-selling series starring Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, she never stopped teaching. For more than a decade, George has hosted a weekly workshop for aspiring authors who meet in her Huntington Beach home whenever she's in town.
