Two thousand fourth graders from 26 Minneapolis District schools gathered the week of January 12–16 at the University of Minnesota to meet with local authors, illustrators and teachers of writing. The purpose of the Fourth–Write! Conference was to provide fourth grade writers and their teachers with a motivating experience in the art, power, and skills of written communication. Metro ECSU staff members brought their conference coordinating skills into play as they organized this even for the Minneapolis District.

Fourth-Write! Conference presenter, Soli Hughes, delights students with his presentation on meter, rhythm and rhyme.
