Beginning October 13, 2019<\/strong>, and including the October 20th National Day on Writing<\/a>, Write Out will host activity cycles that invite participants to write across a variety of media and curricular areas, facilitate online meet-ups, curate resources, and participate in Twitter chats. Participants can take part in as many or as few activities as fit their schedule. Additionally, through collaborative online possibilities, participants will be invited to share their creations, write, learn, and connect with the larger community. Write Out is hosted by the National Writing Project<\/a> in partnership with the National Park Service.<\/p>\n Click Image to Enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n Every location, both the spectacular and the seemingly mundane, tells a story that extends from the distant past to the distant future. Write Out aims to spark curiosity through a series of online activities and writing prompts to explore stories of people, places, culture, and diversity. By analyzing natural resources and cultural experiences, participants will develop an awareness of place and use it to inspire creative, analytical, and other forms of writing.<\/p>\n Whether you have a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days to participate in Write Out, we hope you are inspired to create, have fun, and connect with new colleagues through a variety of writing experiences, including the National Day on Writing on October 20, 2019. Suggested “itineraries” for participating in this online experience will be broken up into two week-long activity cycles: Discovering Stories and Sharing Stories.<\/p>\n Discover American stories (week one), both visible and untold, in all their diversity, from ancient homelands of Native peoples, to African American Heritage, to Women\u2019s History, to the LGBTQ Movement, to other human rights issues. Consider stories that reflect the diversity of perspectives within our country and beyond, and write out with your colleagues and students on the National Day on Writing, utilizing your inspiration from the week. Week two—Sharing Stories—will begin on October 21 and will build on week one\u2019s analysis, providing an opportunity for participants to reflect, through their writing, on the stories of place.<\/p>\n Sign up<\/a> to receive updates through the Write Out newsletter.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/writeout.nwp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A-Week-Inside-Write-Out-800.jpg\")
