writingquote

Writing short is going to matter as much as writing long. Every student is going to have to say what he or she needs to say in 140 characters. And simultaneously they will also need the stamina to write a longer research paper. Brevity and stamina simultaneously matter. We must help our students rock the house fast, but also dig deep and build their writing muscles for the tasks that require more time.
