Educational Clarification
My students have their midterm exam coming up on Monday. They’ll be completing an in-class essay based on a reading they’ve been assigned.
WHAT—We have to write an essay in-class?!
During a discussion regarding an in-class writing, the three questions I can always count on are:
- How long does it have to be?
- Does punctuation count?
- What about spelling—does it count?
Can you imagine a student asking a math teacher how long a math problem has to be?
Can you imagine a student asking a math teacher whether or not +, −, ÷, ×, or = counted?
Can you imagine a student asking a math teacher if using the right numbers matter?
At least most of my students get it when I ask them the math-based equivalents in response to their inquiries regarding what counts on an in-class essay.
