I thought that the discussion that we had this morning about what makes good writing was really interesting. I was really surpised to see that I did not have good mechanics at the top of my list, but when I grade writing that is always what I am focused on.
I also really enjoyed the activity that we did with the paragraph. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed making my own paragraph. It was also really neat to see how other people's paragraphs turned out when we all started out the same.
I feel a little bit better about the paper that we have to do at the end of class. I will definitely need help citing though. It has been a long time!

I also really liked the paragraph writing activity that we did this morning. I really think that the kids would ejoy doing something like that. I am with you about using MLA. I haven't used it since undergrad days. I'm going to need some help, too.
I know I'll need help. I just wish it was finished!
I tend to focus on good mechanics when I grade writing as well.
