Hi few minutes back I have published my assignment. I am an old member of this club. But instead of my name it is showing unknown. Will you please help me out.
I have been studying WBT writing all summer, including the free downloads. Oh Yeah! As I understand it, there are 6 components that I have identified: The Genius Ladder, Ten Minute Writing, Oral Writing, the 11 Day Writing Lesson Plan and (drum roll)...the Writing Game. I listed the components in the order that it seems they should be introduced, but I'm not sure. Is there a suggestion for pacing or order of rolling out all this writing goodness? Signed Jim Hobley
I am curious to know how picky you are about the 250 word limit. I wrote my post and it was way over the limit. I then spent hours editing it down to a concise post that still answered the question, only to discover most of the other posts were longer than my original post.

ReplyDeleteQuestion: May I use webcast participation for certification points? How much is a webcast worth? Sheryl Larson (aka teacher sd)
