Fire on the Page 2018: Writing to the Bone!
The Yellowstone Writing Project invites Montana teachers and school leaders to our 4th annual conference, Fire on the Page!
This year’s conference--Fire on the Page: Writing to the Bone!—is Saturday, February 10, 2018, at the Museum of the Rockies. Throughout the day, we will focus on writing in museums and similar spaces, letting the rich history and science inspire us. We will also be using archives (both on-site MOR resources and digital sources from the MOR and renowned Montana writer, Ivan Doig) to bring multiple disciplines to life through writing.
Our YWP Teacher Consultants will pair with staff members from the Museum of the Rockies, the Montana State University Library, and conference participants to explore how we can maximize the full learning and writing potential of museum and library resources. Teachers of all disciplines and grade levels are invited and teams of teachers are encouraged! We also invite principals and curriculum leaders who are interested in thinking more about how writing builds and utilizes community.
Registration is open and OPI renewal credits will be awarded. Email us at yellowstonewp@gmail.com with any questions. We look forward to writing with you in February!
