It's for a daily writing prompt - it's practice. I won't read them all. They'll share with partners or in a group, or I'll have volunteers read them aloud.Originally Posted by NbyNW
Teachers don't grade everything you know. It's like sports - you have practices and then you have the games.

That sounds like a wonderful exercise! I wish more people had that kind of opportunity develop critiquing skills in a setting that is hopefully constructive and safe.

Daily writing is the best!
For 5th grade my daughter had a terrific teacher who assigned daily writing, and it was really useful for the kids. A group of snooty parents ganged up on her (the teacher) and complained that she wasn't correcting the papers. As former writing teachers, Brewer and I rallied to her defense, and she stuck to her guns, but she gave up on daily journal writing the following year.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
