National Day on Writing

From the National Council of Teachers of English

U.S. Senate Declares October 20, 2009, as the National Day on Writing

On October 8, the U.S. Senate unanimously agreed to S.RES.310, declaring the importance of writing to the nation and declaring October 20 the National Day on Writing.

On this day, the National Gallery of Writing will go live, unveiling over 5,000 compositions in nearly 1,500 local and partner galleries. And this is just the beginning!

It's not too late for a last-minute submission before "go live!" And, of course, you'll be able to submit after October 20 all the way up until June 30, 2010.

Here are a few galleries for you to consider:

• The Gallery of NCTE
• Teachers with Stories to Tell about Teaching
• Spidertangle Gallery
• This Is My Letter to the World
