This has some potential for teaching students how to respond to public opinion polls.

4 Points - The posting(s) integrates multiple viewpoints and weaves both class readings and other participants' postings into their discussion of the subject.   3 Points - The posting(s) builds upon the ideas of another participant or two, and digs deeper into the question(s) posed by the instructor.   2 Points - A single posting that does not interact with or incorporate the ideas of other participants' comments.   1 Point - A simple "me too" comment that neither expands the conversation nor demonstrates any degree of reflection by the student.   0 Points - No comment.

  We do need ways to quantify and evaluate discussions online. I think these are fair and accurate measures.

Go around citing the sources of all of your ideas and people will start avoiding you, because it’s boring as hell

Pat - this is such a true article - but can it fit anywhere in our classrooms? As an avid reader I have to admit that some of the BEST stuff I've read is just from the heart of an author. I like this - how can I use without making people angry ?? :)

Danielle, That's precisely the question I want everyone thinking about. We truly focus so much of our energies on getting the format down and getting the "i's" dotted and "t's" crossed, and for many of the students we teach, that is completely necessary; however, as we begin to look at the next phase of what we'd like to do in the district which includes more than just being "proficient" on some state test, can we blend some of the thinking in this post into what we are doing. And as for making people angry, my advice is that you don't get the results you really want without making a few people angry along the way. Not that you try to, but when you know that what you are doing will make your students better, you just go with it.

Pat - I'd love to share this post with the kids or incorporate parts of it. I have to say that the best writing that the kids have done is usually the writing they do when we're in class and they just write. One of the hardest parts of teaching English is having to read 130 well constructed essays that follow the rubric but are so dry and boring that I have to restrain myself from stabbing my eyes out with my pen. It all goes back to the fact that in our H.S. the kids can write a great 5 paragraph essay or write persuasively but they have NO VOICE and I feel that the stress on structure and grammar could be why they have no voice. Interesting - we should discuss this a bit at our next Connections meeting!
