writing. Deenene and Margaret lead by example.
Take a look at these photos of the

The week these photos were taken, the Brinley Middle School
Family Writing Project families were sharing stories about their
lives. Parents drew maps depicting where they lived as
children, and then shared those maps on the overhead
projector. The kids' maps showed where they live now, in Las
Vegas. Everyone, parents and children, wrote about their
maps. The activity allowed the project's children to gain
insight into their parents lives. Parents, too, learned
much about how the children view their world.
