Thursday's Class
Today we discussed high stakes and low stakes writing. I love this idea, and I agree with the first grade teachers that all writing in the primary grades should be low stakes. I really think the reason I am so obsessive about writing and grammar mistakes is that I have had so many high stakes assignments. I love the journal ideas Paula shared that she found for her research. I think those sound like things kids would really enjoy.

I agree that primary grades should concentrate on low stakes writing. I feel third grade should be included in that realm, too. They really are primary students, not intermediate.
I too love the high- stakes and low -stakes writing.
