Let me just write already! says one student to another.

What makes a student want to write? How can we help students with long-held aversions to writing come to view writing as an invitation to create, to become, and to belong?

In Youth Scribes: Teaching a Love of Writing, R. Joseph Rodríguez argues that when we build adolescents' scribal identities--writers with diverse abilities, backgrounds, cultures, and interests--we reveal the power they hold to practice writing that is meaningful and relevant to their lives and the world. Once students come to view themselves as scribes, they understand why their writing matters. The word scribe refers not only to the ancient practice that predates the printing of writing and the creation of manuscripts and maps, but also to modern forms of communication that call for editing, transcription, and interpretation to show understanding across various audiences, cultures, disciplines, modes, and situations.
