Welcome. My name is Corbett Harrison, and I have been an educator and a teacher-trainer since 1991. I specialize in writing and differentiated instruction.

I serve Northern Nevada for nine months of the year (September-May), and during summers, I hire myself out to school districts around the country.

For the summer of 2010, I am completely "booked" and am pleased to be presenting in five states this year. If you would like to check my availability for the summer of 2011, please contact me using my contact page.

Some of your pictures are worth ten-thousand words...at least. Show them to your students!

As a writing teacher, I always ask my students to bring in funny or favorite family photographs, and we use these to inspire memoir or snapshot writing. Sometimes my writers write their best descriptions based on their own photographs, but just as often as not my young authors write brilliantly based on the photographs of other students.

For whatever reason, intriguing pictures inspire great writing, be they your pictures or someone else's. On this page, I share some favorite family pictures in hopes they might inspire writing from you. I challenge you to post some of your pictures somewhere so that others might think what stories they tell.

At the WritingFix website, we feature a digital photo page and annual photo contest for students that you can visit by clicking here.
