Guide to Wildcat Writers
The Guide includes suggestions for incorporating Wildcat Writers into your English class. This page houses the most robust version of the Guide, with links to sample work and additional resources, but we also have a more basic version that will be available for download soon. Several of the links to readings are password protected for copyright reasons. If you do not already have the password, you can request it here. Please hang on to your assignment sheets and student work this year, because we hope you will consider contributing to our Guide next year-- this is truly a collaborative effort! Thanks to all the teachers who have let us showcase their ideas, and we hope they are helpful to you.
