Literary Gardeners

In the realm of words, where knowledge thrives, Teachers guide with wisdom, where the ink arrives. Enhancing writing, a guiding light they bear, To elevate students, their written tales to share. They mould the process, each stage they steer, Prewriting, revising, the path to steer. Through drafting and editing, teachers impart, Crafting brilliance, each writer's art. Authentic tasks, connections profound, Teachers weave worlds where ideas abound. Persuasive essays, stories untold, Students' passions and dreams unfold. Scaffolded support, in steps, they lead, From outlines to drafts, a writer to feed. Graphic organisers, sentences to start, Building confidence, nurturing the heart. In workshops, they foster, a haven to shine, Students explore, and their voices align. Feedback, revisions, in a collaborative spree, A nurturing space where all can be free. Technology's embrace, a modern song, Grammar checks and feedback are strong. Digital platforms that students employ, Enhancing skills, fostering writing joy. Each learner has unique, a different needs, Teachers cater, their pace to heed. Customised guidance, pathways clear, In growth and learning, they're always near. In the circle of teaching, a quest they trace, Crafting writers in each child's space. With dedication, and evolving practice they glean, For every student, a writer's dream. In the pen's dance, in the writer's hand, Teachers kindle flames in this wondrous land. Inspiring, guiding, with hearts aglow, They shape writers, making talents grow. So teachers, brimming with inspiration's light, Forge pathways for students, in their writing flight. In the tapestry of learning, in wisdom's domain, They foster brilliance, a writer's gain. In memory of Ms. Devi Devavaram, My headmistress with a writing charm. Teaching the art with a graceful hand, Guiding us through language's wondrous strand.
