I'm not exactly sure how this will work - we'll need to learn this together. But, I would like everyone to publish a WEX story on this blog. I would also like everyone to read several students' stories, comment on them by giving them compliments about specific parts of their story, and explain why that part is important.
Directions:
(1) Copy a section of the story that you will be commenting on (highlight the section, then press Command-C).
(2) Click on the "Add Comment" button below.
(3) Paste the section of the story into the comment field (press Command-V).
(4) Put it into quotes, so we know that this section came from the story.
(5) Hit a return, so it looks nice!
(6) Finally, add your compliment (Why did you like this part? Be as specific as you can).
Good luck! I hope you enjoy this new way of sharing your writing with others!
Parents: we are looking forward to your compliments as well! By including parents, students will feel as though their audience is broader and more authentic. I sincerely hope that you will find the time to compliment students' work whenever you can! :)
