What an excellent day we had today. I so enjoyed Mark's lesson and of course Don's 'reading'. I am inspired by the fact that that I now have so many tendrils of questions to follow and guide me through the research portion of the class. To understand that I'm 'in conversation' through my writing- WOW!! I thought of myself as a potential writer even before last Monday but to think that I, Cheryl Lee, am in conversation with others...scholars...really smart people- I feel like "look Mom, no hands"!
After working on my biographical essay this afternoon I have come upon one more question, though. I realize as teachers we try to not place blame. We work hard to get our point across without pointing fingers. But the little green squigglies make me think that perhaps we are doomed to write in the passive voice :)
Until tomorrow- SMILE!

I have come to terms with passive voice - I struggled to get rid of it and wasn't happy with the results - what the heck I like it
