Conclusion:

Okay, you're almost done!!!!  Please remove your "comfort card" from the computer and write a one sentence explanation of where you think you are now--novice, intermediate, or advanced.  You will turn these in at the end so your instructor can contact you later if you need more help!

Next, with your computer buddies, respond to the following prompts:

• What skills from today’s lesson can you see using in your classroom to improve student writing?
• What type of writing prompt could you develop for students to use with your Hot Topics page?
• Write down one skill you would like to apply after completing this session.  Place the paper in an envelope with your name on the front.  These will be collected as you exit the session.
