I do feel that writing with students is a great way to bond with your students as the book suggests. As a class, we usually write a story together about digging to the other side of the world. It is a great way for me to see them brainstorm ideas and deliver those ideas to the rest of the class. Also, they see me as a struggling author who brainstorms and has some good AND some not so good ideas. :)
I agree that it is important for teachers to be themselves as they compose a story. The students then will feel the freedom to express themselves in a risk free environment.

I like your story idea "digging to the other side of the world." Tell us more. Do you have any examples to share? I also agree when the teacher composes a story in front of students, the students feel more comfortable about writing.
