Partner Essays

We are working on partner essays in my freshmen classes right now and I love it! Well, sometimes I hate it because it is noisy and stressful and hard. But I also love it because the process is amazing. The are analyzing short stories, discussing, and doing all sorts of useful things. Super fun to behold.
The funny thing is that if I were a student, the assignment would drive me crazy, but as a teacher, I can see the greater good. Love it.
