I'm sure I'll regret it when it comes time to grade it all, but I've started five of my six classes on writing assignments. The students in the three sections of English IA are writing descriptive paragraphs; meanwhile, the students in my two sections of English II are writing longer essays based on our recently-finished novel,
To Kill A Mockingbird. I was really impressed with some of the topic choices made by the sophomores and am looking forward to reading their finished essays next week.
