The Mr. Borilla Project

The three stories about Mr. Borilla that I tell student writers that I work with have been written down, and they are featured at my personal website, CorbettHarrison.com.  Click here to visit the page I’ve devoted to Mr. Borilla.  If the stories at my personal website happen to inspire you to write a memory down about a favorite teacher from your past, know that there’s a place at this blog to share those stories!  Other teachers have posted theirs, and they are all fun to read.  If you click here, you can read the memories that have already been shared by teachers visiting this blog.

My Mr. Borilla stories have also become an integral part of my presentation for the Northern Nevada Writing Project’s “Improving Narrative & Memoir In-service Class.”  The class (including all its resources) can be accessed at the WritingFix Website:  Click here to access those resources!

Since beginning this on-line project a year ago, I have been contacted by a number of students who also attended Bullard Elementary before it became a magnet/talent school.  Not all who’ve contacted me were lucky enough to have been Mr. Borilla’s students, but all who have contacted me shared fond and humorous memories of being a Bullard student.

If you were a student at Bullard Elementary and want to share a memory or two, I have established this post for you.  Simply click here and type/paste your memory into the “Leave a Comment” box below.  Once it is approved by the moderator, it will be made public for others to read and enjoy.
