Reflection of today's lesson:
Students had a hard time staying on
task. They wanted to rush through their writing. Next time,
I might break up project: Student will write Introduction then peer edit.
Student will write body then peer edit. Student will write conclusion
then peer edit. It will primarily depend on the students.
