Twenty-five Teachers every semester will win a free classroom resource!  Each semester, we choose 25 new students to publish at our online lessons directly at the world-famous WritingFix website. To have your students' writing considered, it can be posted below in the box underneath  this posting.  In November and May, we will select the 25 students whose writing impressed us the most, and if your student(s) is selected, you will be asked to choose from any of the NNWP Print Publications (http://www.unr.edu/educ/nnwp/publications.html) for us to send to your classroom.

 

Help us celebrate your writers.

Misty Mountains

 

          In a valley between two mountains, where the mist rises like smoke, there is a waterfall cascading down the black rocks.  Gurgling and talking, the water then flows into a clear, blue pool surrounded by tall trees.  Across its glassy surface, the shadows created by towering pines dance in harmony with the sun’s rays.  Like a lady dancing alone, one green leaf laced with yellow edges, waltzes to the music the water plays.  A lone bird adds its sweet notes to the melody.  As dusk approaches, the mist drops like a curtain, closing the evening concert.
