Andrew's class has been working on descriptive writing. He also reads a LOT - sometimes a book a day. And it shows. Sure, there are some inconsistencies, and sometimes his fancy turn of phrase makes no sense. But rather than correct it all to death - and take all the fun out of it - we are letting him express himself freely. As for staying on the lines....once again, really not as important as learning to put your ideas into words.
Children are a work in progress. Something there is no word - or concept - for in German.
(These are two essays...neither finished as the idea was to express yourself descriptively in the amount of time allotted.)
