Theme: PAPERS, PAPERS, PAPERS: HANDLING THE PAPER LOAD
Although teachers are reading as fast as they can, the pile of unread student essays just seems to grow taller. This issue of California English invites teachers to share their best practices for moving through student papers efficiently and effectively. How do you employ peer and self-editing strategies? Have you found ways to make writing conferences work? Are there technological tools we should be trying? What kind of feedback fosters improvement from one paper to the next?
