81. Creative Writes 21 author, Emory, and I told ourselves that we were writing American Indian Contributionsto the It matters to me and that’s why I keep writing. creative Write http://www.kporterfield.com/writes/Creative_Writes_21.html

Why We Write: My own reasons for writing vary, depending on my mood and what it is I’m writing at the moment. Since reading Terry Tempest Williams’ list, I’ve made it a practice to check in with myself every few weeks and jot down a quick list of my personal reasons for putting words on paper. As a practical matter, having a written record of why I do what I do serves as a reminder of my intent when I’m mired in the middle of a project with no end in site. I can’t count the times my co-author, Emory, and I told ourselves that we were writing American Indian Contributions to the World because we wanted to change the way history is taught. We spoke those words so often they became our litany. The power in that incantation got us through the cold Dakota winters and what seemed like an endless stretch of peanut butter on day old bread because our advance was a small one. They gave us strength when we had spats with our editor and with each other. They sustained us when we suspected that the project was far too ambitious for us to finish. Beyond moving me forward, allowing myself to know why I write inspires me to the courage necessary to take risks I wouldn’t take if my reasons for writing remained unspoken. Knowing I have good reasons for writing provides me with a solid base from which to plunge forward into new territory. I’m able to begin a messy, juicy piece of writing that is rich with promise, putting words on paper even when I don’t know where they’re leading me.

A Peace of History By Pam Shinkins I have always been sensitive to portents and the gusty Wester Ross wind seemed to be urging me to reconsider the route I had planned to walk with my dogs that day So, leaving Loch Gairloch behind me, I turned south on the B8056 towards Red Point. Dogs on leads, I walked briskly for half an hour or so until I came within sight of Shieldaig Lodge. Now I would have to say that it is exceedingly unlike me to ignore a hostelry while out walking - but inexplicably, ignore it I did as I crossed the road, heading up a rough track pausing only to check my compass for confirmation of who-knows-what. I slipped the dogs' leashes and together we began a gentle climb towards what I judged would be the general area of Loch Horrisdale.

This digest presents strategies and activities that, while appropriate for all students, encourage gifted students especially to work at their own pace and level of complexity and extend their talents in a variety of ways. Exploring Poetic Language: Free Verse Poetry presents an opportunity for gifted students to explore (1) the quality of words, (2) the power of metaphoric language, and (3) the complexity and subtlety of meaning. When writing free verse without the constrictions of a rhyme scheme, students can focus on imagery and point of view, and experiment with different writing styles. Creating a group poem.

Your gifts are the principal means by which the college mounts the special programs which make Cowell a special place. The colleges provide a special dimension to UCSC's uncommon commitment to undergraduate education. As the campus grows to accommodate the "echo of the baby boom generation," the importance of the mission of the colleges, to connect students to the academic resources of the larger university through smaller scale learning communities, is increasingly clear. Visits from alumni and friends are always welcome. If you are visiting Santa Cruz, please stop by and tour the college and consider joining the students and faculty for lunch in the dining hall. And if it's Thursday evening, join us for college night. The provost's office number is 831-459-2251; my electronic mail address is ladusaw@ucsc.edu
