Finding Hope-Week Six

This week felt like a turning point week. I should have known that it would happen, but I was just so hopeless last week. Thank goodness there is always hope. I think I have finally figured out a way to write my lesson plans in a way that is effective for me and not extra work but also meets the requirements of the administration.

One thing that I'm beginning to notice is the fact that my creative writing students are above the level in which I'm usually accustomed to. they seem to want to write more They seem to be more interested in the writing and editing, and that's really a breath of fresh air.

Socrative is really working with my English 11 students. They have become very responsive to posting their thoughts into the Socratic venue. I like having all of the information come to me is in a spreadsheet.

I'm still not sure whether I will be using Essaytagger or not or if it's just more work then it's absolutely worth.

In English 11 we have officially started using the electronic note cards that we started using last year. They seem to be working very well.
