"I think it was John Lennon who once said 'life is what happens when you're making other plans', and that's exactly the way I feel. Although he also said 'I am the walrus, I am the eggman', so I don't know what to believe." - Tim Canturberry (BBC's The Office)

"I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. That’s the thing about bear attacks. They come when you least expect it." - Dwight K. Schrute (NBC's The Office)

Chapter Four of "Is It Done Yet?"

Peer editing, as discussed in class, is an important step in revising. While I don't think it's necessary for students in middle school all the time or for every assignment, a fresh eye for each paper that isn't the writer is necessary.

Using different rubrics for each assignment, and checking those rubrics to make sure they're actually rating what is important in the paper and are requiring what they need to learn and take away from the paper.
