I have been granted a years leave of absense and will be doing other things throughout the year. I'm a poet and a creative writer. Thank you in advance for the help. I bet twc can give you advice about becoming a writer in residence, sinve that's wgat they do among other things. I'd go to the home page for teachers and writers collaborative and see if they have an e-mail feature.
Most sites do.
And for those of you not familiar with the National Endowment for the Humanities, it has a feature called edSITEment which has wonderful links to humanities websitrs. They are all reviewed and they review all sites that teachers recommend. They also have lesson plans available on the site. Just go to the home page above and click on edSITEment. And don't forget about your State Arts Councils and Endowments for the Humanities.
