What to write about on Wednesday, November 14

Hi All, This week with our reflective prompts, Wednesday is a free choice day--or, shall I say, it WAS a free choice day. Here's what I'd like you to do: Go to the following website and choose an article that looks interesting to you.

Here's the web address: http://www.alfiekohn.org/articles.htm Five Reasons to Stop Saying 'Good Job!' is always a favorite, and students usually appreciate the ideas in How to Create Nonreaders The choice is yours, though. Once you've selected and read your article, write a paragraph about an idea or two that really challenged your thinking OR that expressed exactly a principle you hold about teaching and learning. That's it! Dr. K
