It may not be instructional or strategy based, but it would be heartfelt and honest.Kelly Sandbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822678274536014218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513295160105220016.post-5327591323616291902012-03-06T17:50:41.197-08:002012-03-06T17:50:41.197-08:00I agree that giving comments are hard -- at least ...I agree that giving comments are hard -- at least for me as a high school teacher with 100 students most semesters. But, like you, too, I've felt the power of the comments from a community of writers. I took a little pressure off myself for comments when I had my students do the challenge last year. They were in writing groups, and I chose one group per class per day and joined in the commenting. Worked out well. Good luck in your inquiry!<br /><br />Stephanie<br />http://boxofchocolates29.wordpress.comStephanie McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296680024880670993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513295160105220016.post-68673306151022536602012-03-06T16:51:42.742-08:002012-03-06T16:51:42.742-08:00It is hard isn't it?
