Thanks Tom

Today I will be sharing my one pager with you all and I have to say, after reading all your spectacular one pagers, mine is not wonderful, but I really enjoyed writing it. Tom Romano's piece was my focus and he really inspired me in the way that he went against most norms and introduced his students to an incorrect style of writing, in simpler terms, he let them break the rules of writing and experiment. I was locked down with writing rules throughout high school and even during those few times when I had the chance to write about whatever I wanted, I had no direction so I was lost. If my teachers would have just explained what I could do with that freedom I would have done better. Because we are so conditioned to rules in school, it is when they are not there that a majority of us freak out and cry for, "Direction! Boundaries! Anything! But Romano did what our teachers should have done and what we can do. He introduced a freedom style of writing, explaining it to his students and making samples. He then let them get to work and the final products were successful. More background on this will be presented in class! See you all tonight!
