Well, let's see. We started off thinking about what we consider to be good writing. As the things people thought of were listed on the board, I found myself thinking, "Oh,yea. That is important."
I guess it made it even more clear to me that I focus mainly on the mechanics of writing.
I thought the "revising the kernel paragraph" activity was something that my students might enjoy and would serve as a fun activity to practice the parts of speech and figures of speech. I think they would get a kick out of reading their new paragraphs out loud. I'm glad we had the class time to go to Ebsco Host to start looking for articles for our papers. While I'm still not exactly sure what direction I am going to take with the information, I feel much better than I did when I left yesterday.

I agree on the kernel activity. I could see doing this in my class and the students wanting to share theirs with the class. I, too, am feeling better about having a few ideas for my paper.
Paula, I hope the information we received today will help with the research, too. There were many good ideas to try in our classes.
It is interesting to hear what others do or think is a good idea'
