Teaching Writing

heh.
Yeah, I was remembering the line wrong. But unless it's someone you're dating, gender confusion is always fun.

So I tried that line in my class today.

The results were varied. I had one person who completey refused to right anything down, so  I allowed him to tell me his ideas, but he forgot them after re-reading the sentence.

Another two wrote about one sentence, then gave up. They were too tired.

And then one went off and wrote a full page worth of stuff, that really had little to do with the squib, but at least she wrote something.

I'll take what I can get I suppose.

they don't have to really write about the squib. If it gets them started. I don't know what else to tell you. If they don't want to write, forcing them won't change anything.

Well, we are trying to get them to do ANYTHING, other than sitting around and moping. So overall it was a success for this class.

That's good, then.
