I was able to correct these errors to my story on the SNO site, but it was too late to print Steve a corrected copy. (Thank you, Dana Savage, for the offer to distract Steve so I could do the ole story switcharoo!)
But it's not all bad. For one thing, I'll never make these mistakes in my writing again. And better than that, I have guaranteed red ink on my story! I'm feelin' the love already!

Excellent. Pulling your story to the top of the pile for special treatment.

Ginny,
ReplyDeleteI love your post because it puts you in the student seat, which is where we need to be. I learned so much from Steve's direct comments, and I am going home a better writer than two weeks ago. I still have lots of work to do, but there is progress. Being a student has reminded me of what my students need from me. I need to make the corrections like Steve made on your paper and stop writing letters to students that take a lot of time and aren't direct.

Ginny,
ReplyDeleteI just wrote you a long post, and then I got the unhappy face - maybe a lost connection? I loved your post and connected to it. I learned a lot too from Steve's direct feedback. And the feedback never hurt. I wanted it and needed it. I am definitely going to give feedback differently this year. No more long comments and letters to students that dance around their writing issues. I am going to use Steve's format, and their writing will improve.
