research

There is a good chance that I'm actually going to do my little experiment. To review, I'm going to have students write about their days instead of just talking about it. I'm considering modifying this to allow time for talking for those who write slowly and poorly. My goal is to build up length and comfort in writing with out actually teaching a class. I do have some burn out concerns and I feel that some students won't tell me something because they are too lazy to write it. I'm also concerned about attitude problems that come with this type of assignment. It will be an up hill fight.
