Tuesday, June 14, 2011. He rested the chainsaw on his dirt caked jeans, startled by the growing darkness. Framed between the boughs of the Ponderosa Pines, he could no longer see the horizon even though the sun had just risen a few hours before. His sweaty forearm felt the prick of….rain? No, these specks falling from the sky did not dissolve into relief but instead smudged into the grime already there. Yet then the announcer said that which alter my family forever: a cropduster plane was missing! Shawna...

Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Professional Literature Groups Posting #2. Writing Workshop: The Essential Guide. Chapter 5 Conferring With Writers.

http://shawnaslehuasummer.blogspot.com/2011/06/professional-literature-groups.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. Writing Workshop: The Essential Guide. By Fletcher and Portalupi. Chapter 8 What About Skills. Things that stuck with me:. Use students' own writing (strengths/shortcomings) to determine which skills to teach and when. Always present ideas from the perspective of a writer (i.e. writers use commas in different ways.). Teach students the process of editing. Students should be their own first editors. Teach students that proofreaders often read a piece backwards to check for spelling.
