Hi everybody

Hi everybody,

I think the hardest part in all this is picking the perfect title. It is the first thing readers lay their eyes on. It should be an initial hook.That does not mean content is less important. So, we either hit the readers between the eyes or make them drop like flies.

    Titles are hard! And very important. But like writing introductions, it's OK to write titles last.

    For attracting initial attention, it's title and cover image. Both are hugely important, especially if people are looking online.

    We can brainstorm together, if you're interested, Aziz. Or you could send us a quick poll, with a list of 3-4 possible ideas and we can just click on the one we like. Not sure if that would help??

    I like the idea of a poll among ourselves to help us choose a title

    A poll would is a great idea. aziz soubai, can you post your 3-4 top ideas for people to vote on? Plus space for people to choose their own. Of course, as the author, the final choice is yours.

    Titles are hard! I'll do what I can to help. I think it will be an interesting topic of discussion.

Here are the first few pages with my new topic (I changed it a few days ago) to better reflect my interest in teacher well-being. I learned today that well-being is spelled with a hyphen in Canadian English. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwo_ITamV68qbWdacEUzT0w5bUk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwo_ITamV68qbWdacEUzT0w5bUk/view?usp=sharing
