Discovery Students Share Their Writing in Their Own Voice

Discovery’s continuous improvement plan centers on improving every students’ achievement in writing as well as closing the gap between girls’ and boys’ scores. In line with that effort, the purpose of this website is to increase students’ motivation to share writing, and to showcase some of the great written work being done at each grade level.

This year we shifted our Write-On program from a solely extracurricular activity to one that begins in each classroom. We call these monthly sessions Write-On Write-Ins or All School Write-Ins. On these special days, students across the school have a dedicated time where the focus is to drop everything and write. Students may then complete or extend their pieces at home. The majority of the pieces featured on this site were written on Write-In days.

Below is a list of students, grouped by month, who were selected to share their work from each grade level. Click on the link at left to see the students' writing and hear them read their stories in their own voice!
