Into the Words 23 Heba My Family
Words create worlds! What makes for good writing? Heba demonstrates not only a fascinating writer's voice and impeccable structure in this informational piece, she proves that good writing requires hard work. One thing I often don't mention is how many revisions my students' writings undergo - wave after wave of comments and corrections and changes and suggestions (taken & rejected) until finally - it is good. Revision, in my weak metaphor, is the beating heart of good writing.
