Author Pages and Class Pages (How do we Make Writing Visible and connect with others?)

Helping students identify as a writer is essential for building lifelong writers. When students purposefully publish their writing to a peer audience on Write About, they become an Author.

Use Author Pages and your Class Page to grow autonomy and ownership as you celebrate your Community of Writers!

AUTHOR PAGE OVERVIEW

Every student and teacher has an Author Page. It's a feed of the writing pieces from the author that have been published publicly to the Write About Community.
