Don't Run With Scissors
I must say that I was a bit apprehensive about this exercise, however after completing it, I felt so much better. Tina really reconstructed my essay and I LIKE it!!!! It was also humbling to read other people's stories and to see what we have gone through to get to this point in our lives. I know you all like my post's title; now I just have to make sure I have a great title for my narrative as well!

ReplyDeleteI have always been a runs with scissors kind of gal. Glad you didn't freak and more glad you liked it. It was a great exercise.And I enjoyed reading your paper.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina. Somehow I'm not surprised that you have been a runs with scissors kind of gal. It was great connecting with you today.
ReplyDeleteThe students in cosmetology class at the voc center had t-shirts created that stated: Cosmetology--we run with scissors. For some that is a very disconcerting idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree. To have my work cut into pieces was scary, but Lori was able to reconstruct my essay and redirect my focus. This is an excellent exercise for my students at their final draft stage.
