They can ask the person who wrote it for help if they can't read it.

I love reading your thoughts about books, and so I love doing this responding -- one of the reasons I cut back from five days of writing to three was because of the amount of responding...<br /><br />I LOVE your idea! It would add another component to the class, where I can model and teach response...let me unpack my thinking and you can help me. I have kids, like you, who read and write sooo well, and kids who don't . Kids who can't read cursive, kids whose own writing is hard to read, has lots of misspellings...I could match papers, I think, so I could make sure kids who don't read and write well would be responded to by someone like you who wouldn't make judgments about them, or go tell the world how poor their skills are...Keep talking! You're onto a great thing here.Fourth Generation Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700328444005416956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633935880322794283.post-77213242726176109272012-03-25T22:34:25.150-05:002012-03-25T22:34:25.150-05:00Mrs. Swisher, you spend an incredible amount of ti...Mrs. Swisher, you spend an incredible amount of time grading papers and responding to logs, and I know it's worth every second you spend in terms of student benefit. But I can't help but feel like it's overwhelming. I'm overwhelmed just reading this post. I just wanted to suggest that you don't have to do all the responding yourself. Maybe 3 times a semester you could have students trade reading logs and respond to each other the way you do. You can catch your breath, but the job gets done. What do you think?Irene Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117191867923912062noreply@blogger.com
