Abstract

While working towards a teaching degree in English language arts, I found myself reflecting on my own education in search of inspiration for how I will teach writing in my future classroom. Through a meta-dialogue, I engage with the idea(s) of being a writer who is also a lifelong learner and a newly converted defendant for the process of revision and how to share that with my students.
