Response to Simon Lang

Mrs Hartman,
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation. I heard you speak at the Mid-Winter conference and you have such a rich knowledge base for how to write creatively. I am definitely going to use the activities you showed us to help my students when I do Writer's Workshop with them. I was very impressed with the ideas you brought up for description such as putting words together like "the blackest anger" and layering the elements of writing. You are certainly an extremely gifted writer. I hope to be able to see another one of your presentations. Thank-you for coming to speak with us.
