Looking for a dynamic presentation that will guide your students through writing a "Where I'm From" poem? This Prezi is exactly what your classroom needs.

The Writing Process Prezi, NO PREP!
In all my years teaching English, it has become more and more apparent that students need to be told that writing is a process and each stage is equally important. Otherwise, students will simply draft a piece of text, read it over once if we’re lucky, and call it good. I have created for you a lesson that explicitly teaches students each stage of the writing process...and, because some find the topic exceedingly dull, I’ve given the lesson a horror genre slant to keep students highly engaged.
