The Way They See It

I asked the students what advice they had for the young writers who would be in the class next year, and to borrow a phrase from a colleague of mine: Man! They gave me the blues!

Don’t get on Ms. S's bad side 

 Finish your work early so Ms. S has time to criticize it. 

 don’t sit on Miss S's stool without permission or else you might lose a limb. 

 Finish your assignments in class and don’t get on Ms S's bad side she will steal your lungs 

 Don’t argue with Ms. S. And also do NOT CALL MS. S A GRANDMA!!!! 

RUN FAR AWAY BECAUSE SHE WILL MAKE YOU WRITE SO MANY THINGS 

Work hard because she gives tough grades 

 Listen to Ms. S every second 

 Don’t be sad if your writing is bad. 

 If something is summative, do your best. We all know it’s a hard class. 

 Be cautious because you never know what will set teachers off 

 But a few appreciated the rigor and style of the class: 

Work hard And help will come along…DUN DUN DUN Ms. S. to the RESCUEEE!!! 

Try your best and always listen to Ms.S. and you will do good in English 

Write write write

And one? Even seemed to totally get it: 

Follow the directions and don't try to overthink your writing because if you just keep trying to get down every single specific detail right away then you won’t get anywhere for a while. Just let the writing come naturally first and then revise it. Listen to feedback.

Now that's good advice!
