A thousand years ago the world’s most prolific and brilliant literary critics is said to have penned his final work.Abhinavagupta’s final literary work — his luminous commentary, Reflections on the Recognition of the Lord.
Notes left in manuscripts and colophons by medieval scribes and copyists, from the Spring 2012 issue of Lapham’s Quarterly: New parchment, bad ink; I say nothing more. I am very cold. That’s a hard page and a weary work to read it. Let the reader’s voice honor the writer’s pen. This page has not been written very slowly. The parchment is hairy. The ink is thin. Thank God, it will soon be dark. Oh, my hand. Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink. Writing is excessive drudgery. It crooks your back, it dims your...
Providing students with specific and timely feedback is extremely important in any subject. Why is feedback so important? In order to grow, students need to know along the way what they are doing that they should continue doing and what next steps they need in order to get on the right track. They need this throughout their learning - not just at the beginning, and the end is TOO late! Ongoing feedback is what keeps their motors running and keeps them going on the correct path. When do you have time to give feedback? This is something that I have had to play with along the way. I give feedback at different times of the day and not always at a scheduled time or day. As students enter the classroom and begin morning work is a great time. During class time when students are working on particular pieces of work. When students finish early. Any down time that you can find!!! I use rainy days to catch up, when needed. In the past, I have given feedback orally and written - primarily oral, as I taught non-readers. Now that I will be in the upper grades, I want to have something tangible that students can refer back to, to help me know what I met with them about in the past, and to help us both see growth over time. I made this quick writing commentary sheet that I hope someone else will be able to use. I plan to have students place this in their Writer's Notebook (see sheet below). The sheet focuses on the 6 Traits of writing, which will be one of the goals students will track. In addition, I have a place to mark which genre you comment on and an area for 2 stars (things they did well) and one next step (things to work on). What type of comments do you give? I like to show them what they know and what they need to work on. What is MOST important is that you are SPECIFIC! DO NOT: Great Job! Nice work! Keep it up! A+ 100%, etc... What does this tell them? Nothing. Instead DO this: You remembered to use a conjunction when combining your two sentences. Thank you for using correct punctuation. I see that you used commas in a series, but do you remember other times we need a comma? Is there a tool you can use to help you choose chunkier words? When giving feedback ALWAYS tell them something positive and something to work on. RESOURCE COMING SOON

Goodness, can’t leave you lot to your own devices for long, can I? [g] Given the amount of traffic I see in the stats for this blog and my Facebook page, I conclude that the Casting Wars are still boiling along. Well. Look. 1) People are entitled to their own opinions. Naturally, I’d prefer these opinions to be expressed—and received—civilly, but up to you, of course. I believe in the virtues of free discourse. 2) I—of course—am likewise entitled to an opinion. [cough] Now, my opinion is based on rather more information than most others expressed here, because a) I created Jamie Fraser and thus—presumably–have a pretty good idea of what he really looks and acts like. b) While I haven’t yet met Sam Heughan, I’ve seen Rather a Lot of him (about 95%, at a rough guess), both in terms of a. Photographs, and b. Film, and c. Bits and pieces, like audition tapes Naturally, everyone forms mental images while reading. Everybody. I do it when I read other […]
