Excerpt from Show
When I started asking, 'So what was the point of doing this work, or what drew you to it?,' she [Prairie Lands Writing Project Director Jane Frick] said it's really an amazing continuity activity for her teacher-consultants. . . .

And they got to really think about, 'How does writing here—the very micro level for a teacher—how does the writing my students produce fare in this sea of writing from across the country? And also at a more macro level, what does Missouri student writing seem to look like compared to what we're seeing in this box of writing from all around the country?'
