Trying.

I’m halfway through the research outlines from my English 11 class, and I have this to be grateful for: they are trying.

It’s a hard assignment, and I’m sure I’m not doing the best I could in teaching them how to write it, but most of them are trying.

And again, I’m grateful for Google Docs–not only because it really is easier for my to grade that way, but also, when school networks start acting up, my students don’t lose their work.
