Around St. Patrick’s Day, teacher consultants with The National Writing Project at Rutgers gather to share good food and write together.  This year, Carmen prompted us to write about a food memory or a cultural experience with food.  How do you and your family celebrate your heritage with food?  This question can lead to some richly detailed writing.  Try it in your classroom and see what happens.  The examples here were drafted, read, revised and recorded in about one hour.  It doesn’t take too much time to have a valuable writing experience and share something of yourself with others.
