Scales and Sketches
This semester has been an experiment for me—asking my students to do the equivalent of playing scales and drawing sketches. Instead of requiring a series of 3-5 page papers, I have required a series of exercises. We are on our last project: a summary of an article and then the application of its thesis to the student’s own observations. The experiment has taught me about teaching. I hope it teaches my students about writing! Even a little? We’ll see. The semester is almost over.
