i've already talked about spandel and williams, so i will turn my energy to wyngaard this week. while i did enjoy the wolf pdf on portfolios, i found myself drawn to wyngaard's idea about audience response stressing "an engaging opener; showing, not telling: and writing with focus." i think these are three important things that aren't overly daunting for a student to try to work on in their writing. i also think that it is great to expose students to memoir. add some romano in to the classroom and you've got yourself a good equation for multigenre writing. also, you must love writing workshops. i know i do. no big rants or long-winded nonsense this week.
resource o' the week: www.pbs.org/teachersource, some great things to implement in to our future classrooms

I like that you point out Wyngarrd's ideas on audience response. I agree that by teaching these three techniques to students you will be able to significantly help them to advance their writing no matter what they are writing about. Short brief and to the point, good work.
