343. Partnership Writing with Dawn Smith
About this episode
Melissa Wiley discusses the importance of writing with Dawn Smith, emphasizing its role in thinking and connection despite advancements in AI.
Why teach writing when AI can generate paragraphs in seconds? In this episode, Melissa Wiley talks with Brave Writer president Dawn Smith about why writing still matters, maybe more than ever. Together, they explore writing as a tool for thinking, voice, discovery, and connection. We look at how kids develop their own style, why pre-writing conversations are part of the writing process, and how partnership writing helps children bridge the gap between ideas and words on the page. Plus, Dawn shares what’s new with Partnership Writing and how families can pair projects with Darts for a rich month of learning. Tune in and reconnect with the deeply human work of writing.
