6/24 Good Writing Instructors

I really liked the activity we did this morning on the sticky note listing our thoughts on an ideal writing instructor. It was not really all that time consuming, but gave us time to think, reflect, and share ideas. Then when we did the "museum" part, we could read what everyone else wrote, agree or disagree with it, and keep it in our own journal. That process was simple, but allowed deep thinking, and sharing at the end through discussion was also very helpful. The key point was that no one listed "edits well, or criticizes paper" as something an ideal instructor should do. One common idea was that the instructor should be positive. Validating another's writing is key.
