What's your opinion?

Thank you to everyone who filled out this poll or left a comment. Over 40 responses gave me a good idea of what to focus on. I wrote a post "Social Media to the Rescue" about the results and how it affected the presentations. Thanks again.



Thank you for the help. The merits of writing is not a topic I usual present on, but I certainly blog about it afterwards.

@edutopia Make writing a journey, not a destination. Excellent writing takes time and patience.

re writing: Spell well. Use verbs other than to be. Check agreement. Avoid passive voice. Adjectives exist besides good, nice

Do not write the way you speak

agreed - once they learn to write well, they should learn to speak the way they write. but first they should read....a lot...that's the best way to learn how to write well

i think you should stress the fact that a lot of kids are forgetting to spell the right way because of texting!

The first thing is to have a great idea. The second part is to be able to put that idea into words and have it make sense to readers. I would stress structure, grammar, and clarity in writing. Practice makes perfect.
