No, I'm not resigning! The freshmen are doing a writing exercise which requires them to correct a resignation letter. In the exercise, a young man has suffered through a nightmare babysitting experience, and he has written a resignation letter to the parents of the nightmarish child. The young man is apparently trying to use his vocabulary as a weapon, and as a result, his letter is very wordy. The students are to re-write the letter, eliminating much of the wordiness. I challenged them to make the corrected version entertaining yet classroom appropriate. Tomorrow, we'll see what they created.
