Teaching writing means reading things like this
- The crowd looks like a box of crayons with their colorful shirts on to support their favorite school.
- The most magnificent and wonderful part of day is the night that takes us within. It gives you your dreams and time to think about the day that trailed behind you.
- I ask my mom. “I’m too busy at the moment. How about later?” Knowing that later will be near 7 PM, I slither back to my room.
How can you not smile when gems like this are scattered through student writing? Evaluating each assignment becomes a treasure hunt.
