I feel like I am running in circles....

Every time I do a writing lesson with my students, I feel like we are starting all over again.  It is like the have never had any writing instruction in their past years of school and I am very well aware that they have since kindergarten!  It is like an endless circle and we seem to be stuck in emergent writing.  I think it is the attitude that the students have all formed about writing. Did I give them this attitude?  Can they sense from me what a chore getting the class to write has become?  Oh my goodness, please do not let it be me!  I love to write and I love to have my students stretch their imaginations.  As I am typing this, a huge dark cloud is forming and I feel that the upcoming gloom as brought on by myself.  I have never looked at writing through my students eyes, maybe they are picking up something from me.  I can see the dread in their eyes when I mention us writing. I have got to turn this around and start with an upbeat introduction, maybe with music.  Music seems to brighten everyone's mood.  I will now be on a mission to find good writing music and a little dance for us to do to get the creative juices flowing before we sit down to think and write!
