Anna cockerille wrote about the National Council of English Teacher's sixth annual National Day on Writing. In her blog she gave some ideas on how to celebrate NCTE which included: Chalk-A-Bration and Theatrical Shorts. Ms. Cockerille mentioned that this year's theme is "Landscape of Knowing". In conclusion to her blog she made a suggestion to form a group with your older students and do a Moth-Style story session.

While grading papers Ms. Anna Cockerille would make suggestions for the student to fix them, but some of the students were confused or could not read her writing. So she decided that organization and elaboration matter the most when writing papers. Organization is how the paper is put together, and elaboration is the amount of information that fills the paragraph up. When reviewing a student's paper you should concentrate on these two categories to help the student become a better writer. If you want to review one item at a time, it is up to you. Knowing what your students need to work on, you could divide the paragraphs up into sections. Take your time in grading the papers and do not feel overwhelmed with the task.
