Room 214

Hello readers,

I am currently working at an advertising agency in San Francisco, California. As part of this work, I am learning more about Blurb, a company in San Francisco that helps creative people make high-quality books for a good price. One teacher in San Francisco used Blurb to motivate her students:


Storytelling Series: "Room 217" by Rebecca Kee from Blurb Books on Vimeo.

As a former writing teacher, I really like this idea. Students are more motivated when they feel like they are doing something real, with real-life benefits. As you can see from the video, this is true even when the students are small children.

Do you think you will become a teacher? If you do, how will you motivate students to write?
