Ralph Fletcher Visits Knollwood School By James

Ralph Fletcher came to Fair Haven Knollwood School in NJ.  He taught everybody in the school his writing strategies and how useless things can turn into great ideas.  For example, when he was a kid he wrote down the things he was scared of and he could write a poem out of each one of them.

He mostly talked about his childhood and how he had 8 siblings.  One of them died in a car crash.

As Mr. Fletcher spoke kids wrote down what he said and what he did as a writer.  Most people are looking forward to using these strategies.
