Co...I love the solutions you presented here, Jaden! Communication is definitely key. :) It's especially tough to work with short pieces of writing (and even more so when the writing has already received a high grade)! Something I may have done during this session was to talk about introductory paragraphs and thesis statements in general. Maybe the student was lacking some confidence with their intro and so was seeking your opinion as a reader. While I assume the writer did a great job on their writing, maybe it would have been helpful if you shared your perceptions of the paper that would follow such an intro. It might be that you weren't picking up all of the subtopics the writer intended to discuss in the rest of their paper, and this might give the writer something more to think about as they crafted their intro. I always try to find something a writer can "hang onto" in my consultations, a piece of knowledge or know-how that will help them in future writing assignments. In this case, I think I'd have gotten the writer thinking about their audience and how an intro paragraph lays the groundwork for readers. nicoleashleytownsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09954270208925510906noreply@blogger.com
