Be ready to discuss:
1. How would you characterize your experiences with writing in and out of school? What most frustrates you about writing?
2. What kinds of writing do you imagine you'll do once you leave school? How is digital literacy different from and similar to the kinds of literacy practices you've learned in school?
3. Do you agree or disagree with the following: "Writing can be learned, but it can't be taught"? Explain.
4. Many of my recent former students describe being very passive and unengaged in school. How would you characterize your level of engagement in school? How honest are you with your teachers about what you know, what you don't understand, what you're interested in, what you find boring? What do you think causes students' lack of engagement?
