[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school has our students write an essay on "something they know." Every year. So every year, my kid pulled out the same old garbage about ponies that they learned in first grade. The handwriting got a bit better, the sentences a bit longer - but the idea that if you let kids just write whatever garbage they settle on is completely absurd. Lucy Calkins believes that if kids are writing about something they know or like, the words will just flow out of them like Shakespeare ... [/quote] +1. I totally agree.[/quote]
