Focused Free-writing:
If you were to choose the breed you would be if you were a dog, which type would best suit you? Explain.Interesting how I came up with this topic, when I first started teaching, and one of my students whom was quiet and seemed as though he never talked, or showed emotion was absent from class. Then one of his classmates, when I asked where he was, said "He's absent." Then she went on to describe how he reminds her of a pitbull. Because of his stern look and behavior. This is a fun topic to read about, my students hopefully, will match their personality to the dog they've chosen.
Today Paper # 2 is due. Many but not all my students have been conferencing with me, and I have seen great improvement in their writing. It is very nice to see their progression as writers.
