Thirteen teachers participated in the first Lake Superior Writing Project Mini-Institute, which was held the week of August 9 through 13, 2010, at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The group wrote, shared their writing, studied Vicki Spandel's The Nine Rights of Every Writer, and were inspired by the stories of TC Ann Mershon of Grand Marais. The week ended with a sharing celebration at UMD's new Bagley Outdoor classroom.
