Today we started off with an excellent discussion of Chapter 4 from Bean's Engaging Ideas, this was followed by an awesome teaching demo with Lori teaching us about genres and greeting cards. Following lunch, Sherrie took us deeper into the realm of W2L with composing a letter based upon ideas of today's reading assignments, and then, we spent time drafting our current writing partner's bio. Somewhere in the midst of all that activity, I know you had something to say but for some reason, it didn't get said.
Well, it's time to say it here. That's part of why we blog. Share one of those "earned insights" with us on the blog and help us revisit what we're learning it means to teach writing well.
Thanks.
Don

Don, I appreciate your candor, emotion, and drive when you are pressing us to think about our actions as teachers. I have some interesting journal entries to consider...
ReplyDeleteDon, I really appreciate your contributions in class. I get the best of both worlds when listening to you. I get to experience your 'professor' side and your 'classroom teacher' side. Keep it comin'
ReplyDeleteLOL and OMG! Ditto with what Lisa wrote. You provide us with the best of both worlds. Being able to laugh and keeping a sense of humor keeps us sane in the world of OGT thinkers! Maybe not sane but less than insane...
