I make those tools explicit and give them names and show me they know how to use them. A few come back and say they went on to read <I>Tristram Shandy</I> or something and I'm, of course, delighted, but it's, as you say, the unassessable stuff that matters. I want to know that students I've had no longer fear reading texts they're told are "too hard," which include, yes, poems and novels, but also letters, documents, and the Constitution. Just a little more confidence in evidence would make my day.<BR/><BR/>(I finally rectified not having you in my blogroll; I am so sorry that took so long.)A White Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378226135352153241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-1151618340400523022006-06-29T17:59:00.000-04:002006-06-29T17:59:00.000-04:00I think you see it randomly, when you don't mean t...I think you see it randomly, when you don't mean to see it, but you do and you're like hey I do that.<BR/><BR/>Yah, my babies do that to me--make me see myself in them because little bits stick with them forever. kinda like the reading quizes.CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782575576596337344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-1151582083611895542006-06-29T07:54:00.000-04:002006-06-29T07:54:00.000-04:00I am reading Plato's Republic and the justice/inju...I am reading Plato's Republic and the justice/injustice is so cool. I am thinking all the time I'm thinking their is justice, no, hell no. And is it just to be just, no, it is not. No one is just because they want to be, hello, they have to be. We have to not steal the cow or we go to jail. I like that the unjust is really the just or was it the just really the unjust. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Hmm, I think the egg.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.com
