Whether it’s tweets, texts, BoardBuzz or pick-up-a-pen writing, it has never been more important to our communication and culture. October 20th was the first annual National Day on Writing, proclaimed by Congress and celebrated nationwide by the National Council of Teachers of English and other partners.
A National Gallery of Writing continues the celebration of writing and is open for your posts: essays, email, letters, poetry, word art, videos, etc. There also are many State and Local Galleries started by schools, libraries and others. Browse and contribute to these galleries or start your own!
From the first time a prehistoric woman or man used written symbols to convey meaning, writing had the potential to keep us connected. We still ponder Mayan relics, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and Nordic Runes to help us understand our human history and experience. Technology now allows us to reach more people, more often, than ever before – by writing.
So celebrate writing and keep sharing your thoughts with BoardBuzz. It’s the “write” thing to do.
