Tucker's+Response


 * Dear Matt, Kyle, Caroline, Tyler, and Jessica:**


 * You handled the protocol perfectly by keeping the speakers focused on observations at first and asking for examples of their generalizations, if they arose. You also recognized the engagement in her style, suggesting a motivated writer.**
 * Most of all, I was pleased that you kept the class involved in the discussion, even though you had thought through the topic previously. That's what good teachers do.**
 * We had a terrific discussion of the advantages of computers in the writing process. How much a computer would impact this writer's ability to generate text and re-read what she had written, i couldn't say. Fixing mistakes is easier with a computer, but the actual fluency, the ability to elaborate on a topic, is less influenced. I have begun to wonder if many of the YHS students have problems reading that makes their writing in high school more limited and lacking voice.**


 * Great Job! 15/15**
