"Wow!" one student exclaimed as she sat down for her writing conference today. "Look at this!" She flipped her iPad around so I could see the 400 words she had already written neatly divided into paragraphs. "I never knew how to do paragraphs until today when you taught us!" she reported with pride.
I felt a little proud, too. "Thanks!" I told her. "It's always nice to get positive feedback."
Overhearing our conversation, another student joined in. "Look at mine!" he said. "Paragraphs are so easy now!"
But before I could congratulate myself further, he continued, "I just count five sentences and hit return!"
