Overview of Class/Friday
I have really enjoyed taking this class. I have learned to not base grades so much on high stakes assignments, but let students enjoy the low stakes writing. Especially when teaching IEP students, low stakes writing, I feel, is so much more important. I am definitely going to implement the hamburger method in my class. There were also several microthemes that I am going to try. I feel this class helped me relax and be able to enjoy teaching writing w/o the stress. I have also enjoyed hearing everyone else's ideas and responses. It was nice to hear how another school implements programs...it is also nice to hear that other teachers struggle with the same things.

I agree about this class helping me to relax also. I liked hearing that other people had the same concerns or struggles that I have had and I don't feel alone anymore.
Amy, I also plan to use the Hamburger method. I guess we have learned so much that I forgot to mention it. I have really learned alot from this class too, especially the low stakes writing and how to build with it.
It has been a pleasure meeting you and listening to your comments of how you (and some things of SOuthern) implement things.Thanks!
I also liked hearing from everyone in the class.
I also really enjoyed the discussions that we had in class. They helped me to see that I am not alone in my frustrations with teaching writing and with standardized testing.
