Teaching Writing

• A good exercise would be to give students a piece of my writing to correct using MS_Word Track Changes and then show them how I myself rewrote it. Then scold them for missing the numerous flaws that I myself found.

@pkedrosky "One of the offspring wanted help with an essay, so I told them to write me an email explaining the main ideas. They did so, and I told them to submit that. Got an "A". The "Send me an email explaining your essay" trick is like magic for stuck and/or struggling writers."
