Blogging has been few and far between since last week. I spent the majority of this week correcting tests and reading papers. When I wasn't doing those things, I was trying to get my mid term grades together. Last Wednesday was the midterm! I can't believe it. Before we know it Christmas will be here.
On Friday we had the best inservice I've ever been to. A rep from one of our text book publishers, Write Source, was up to give us an overview of the Six Traits approach to writing. And it was phenomenal. He was all about crafting writing with voice and personality. Form is important, but not at the price of creating voiceless five paragraph themes. I could have listened to that all day. Plus he had us do plent of writing too.
Now the weekend is here. I purposely didn't bring work home. Instead I finished ten pages of my essay due Novemeber first. I was a bit worried because it was only about five pages in appleworks, but once I put it into Microsoft Word, it swelled to ten pages. Now I have the delightful dilemma of having too much material.
