My friend Jamie had a great idea for some everyday writing.  I sometimes feel stuck always writing for one purpose.  There was times in the last few years where other types of writing were not practiced through out the whole year.  I felt like they were forgotten.  My students are masters at writing personal narratives, but I did't feel quite as confident about other types of writings until now.
