Day 61- "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." Bill Gates

I'm exhausted. My senior class that meets on black days tests me. They are a bright group, but extremely lazy. We peer reviewed our papers today, but many of them had very little written and weren't really into the activity like my other classes were. I will have to be much more structured with this group on how I make them do their peer revisions for our last paper and make them have some sort of rough draft due to evaluate. They don't take the writing process (I hate that phrase, but I'm not sure at this point what is a better description of it) seriously enough in my opinion. This class thinks they can slack off because they did better on their first papers than my other classes did, but if I had to wager, I would bet those scores aren't so high this time.

My Read 180 lab class started brainstorming and writing their rough drafts for their memoir papers. They are doing well with the writing workshop, but I want to really push them to make them better writers and readers.
