TARGET: Quotes by children's authors

[Jill Hofmockel <jhofmockel@CCS.K12.IA.US>]

So, I'm in a new school and I really want to keep up with all the =
requests, but some of them are a little 'out there.'


Some collegues are creating a series of lessons for upper elementary =
students on various aspects of writing. They would like to lead off each =
lesson with a somewhat related quotation by a children's author, just to =
get the conversation started.=20

What we're wondering is if anyone knows of any websites (no book titles, =
please) that would list good quotes from children's authors>

OR

If you know some good quotes that are attributed to a children's author =
that has to do with any of the following aspects of the writing process, =
please send them to my personal e-mail address:

> Understanding the Topic (writing purposes: to entertain, inform,
> persuade, etc.)
> Getting Ideas (Prewriting: brainstorming, drawing, webbing, etc.)
> Organizing a Report (beginning, middle, end)
> Planning and Writing a Story (tells about beginning, middle, end, and
> main idea/supporting details)
>=20
> Putting Your Voice to Work (difference between formal and informal
> voices)
> Choosing Words (proper and slang words)
> Details (adding details to make text come alive for the reader)
> Sentences (sentence variety)
> Working with Your Topic (main idea and supporting details)
>=20
> Editing for Capitalization
> End Punctuation
> Checking Your Spelling
> (This unit includes the lesson you're writing; organization will
> change)
>=20
> Tips for Doing Your Best Writing



I know this is a toughie, but I will certainly appreciate anything  that =
comes my way.

Thanks in advance.
Jill
