Two weeks down, one to go! Today, I actually caught myself thinking out loud, "I could teach middle school!" Haha... I have enjoyed getting to know these students and seeing the quality of their work. Even though analysis and logical argument may not come naturally to them at this point, their depth of thought and precision with words is impressive.

I thought that today's lesson on conclusions was the clearest lesson of the week, and the students were very successful! Mrs. Simms gave them a list of common examples of phrases used to conclude essays, and that was an excellent resource... When it was all said and done, I really felt like their conclusions turned out to be their strongest paragraphs. Even though writing literary analysis essays may not seem like the most interesting summer activity, I hope this week can really benefit the students in the future!
