These things apply to texts, to emails, to social media, to school projects of course, and finally to our own sort of thinking&#8230;our own journals where we ask ourselves the deep personal questions that help us guide us through this very complicated world that we have here.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Raquel underlines so beautifully, our writers can get students writing and speaking to make sense of their learning in English Language Arts and other subjects, particularly social sciences (geography, history &amp; citizenship) and ethics &amp; religious culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the shortest literary form (Haiku) to children&#8217;s books and award-winning YA\/adult fiction, biography and more, ArtistsInspire has dynamic literary artists to recommend.
