Christensen (2000) describes a reading and writing activity that builds upon the Jewish tradition of "making the learning sweet." She advocates using this activity to open the school year, providing teachers with information about the cultural backgrounds of their students. Writing project sites have used "Sweet Learning" as an opening informal writing activity in summer invitational institutes, leadership team meetings, and professional development occasions.
