Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Marcus. As I HS teacher I feel the rush to *cover* all of my standards often supplants this important work. I appreciate your bravery in emphasizing how important it is to slow down and let students reflect on their writing. I will be trying to do more of this in my class as well. I would love to see some samples of student work.

I'm working on a post with some updates and student examples! Should be out in a couple weeks or so.
I would love a copy of this as a template!
