What are the top five lessons you will take back to your classroom or lifestyle after summer institute?
top 1: writing. I will make writng a habit. I will also make writing more instructional in my class.
top 2: blogging. I will keep blogging and use it in my classroom.
top3: sharing. To get feedback will benefit writing. Sharing is put yourself into a “emergency situation” as Natalie Goldberg put it, which will force you writing no matter what excuse you’ve got.
top4:teaching can be fun. Why do we need to make learning boring to emphasize its significance? Teachers and students should all enjoy the process.
top5: career development is presious. SI not only gives me an insight at writing but more important at teaching, which I think will benefit me lifelong.

Shuang, I am amazed at your command of the English language. I am ashamed of myself when I read your writing because I know I could never learn a second language as efficiently as you have. You’re a wonderful English writer!
