I turned in the draft for Chapter 3 on Monday afternoon. It ended up at 45 double-spaced pages, and near the end, I’m sure that I started repeating things. I know that the last list of criteria used the verb “Include” in about 8 of 12 bullets. I decided it was time to just get rid of it for a while, and turning it in seemed like the best option.<\/p>\n
Next I’m supposed to come up with a short piece for the Snapshots column in EJ. Here’s the call for that section:<\/p>\n
\n\nSnapshots: What do the key moments of teaching and learning
\nlook like? When did you know that you had made a difference?
\nWhat did you learn from a mistake or difficult situation?
\nFor this feature, we invite you to capture one particular
\nmoment in words. We are seeking reflective stories, drawn
\nfrom all types of classrooms, that reveal insights about teaching
\nand learning. Stories accepted for the feature will be published
\nwith the author\u2019s photo and may include other photographs as
\nneeded (1,000 to 1,500 words).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\nI thought it would be a relatively easy thing to write when I put it on the schedule. It’s just a short story about teaching really, but I’ve been wondering now what story I have that is significant or relevant. I’m feeling as though I may not be able to come up with anything that matters. Maybe something will come to me.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I’ve been editing other people’s writing for the site. Last night, I came across a gem that included the instruction to post students’ final projects in the classroom “even the ones that aren\u2019t so good.” o.O I’m trying to focus on the fact that at least she didn’t say “even the ones by the slow kids.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
