      Like this lesson idea. I wonder what speeches they are listening to or viewing. I wonder how one can get these to share in class.

      This is a great way to give feeback on a weak element in writing because it causes interaction with the student, dialogue, reflection, and revision. One can be sure that with this simple question the student will revise and, in turn, grow as a writer.
