They’re writing partners

-- Contributed

Mary Ann Sunyoger’s Teaching Writing as a Process class at Franciscan University of Steubenville visited Susan Fisher’s eighth-grade students at Bishop John King Mussio Junior High earlier this month. “Every fall semester, my students in this course are involved in a writing partnership with an area school, since most of the students taking this course are future teachers, and the rest of the students taking this course are English writing concentration majors,” explained Sunyoger, back left. “The purpose of this partnership is to work through journaling with local students so that they may experience an additional opportunity to become more fluid and confident as writers,” she noted. “My students apply the theory learned in my class through the application or practice of this theory. We closed the semester with a festive get-together that occurred at John King Mussio Junior High.”
