My thought began to take off.

Okay, so  if I create a blog and share the site with the 8th grade teachers from Dudley,  we can post and share our work with the students from the other half of the district.  I would really like to have my students have students from outside of our school comment on my students’ work so that they have a clear sense of how well they are writing.  In a sense it takes the personal element out of the evaluation–”He just said that because he hates me.”

The other idea that comes to me is to use this as a homework post.  I think that all of my students have internet access at home.  If that is the case, I can put my homeowrk on line and allow the students to print out their own worksheets.
