Progress Report

Things are going along really well on the Blogamundo Project. I have been amazed at the gains I've seen in student writing. I think the main thing I have noticed is that the organization of their writing has increased amazingly. Just getting them to write something is often difficult at first, but as time goes on they start to write quite a bit. Then the work is in making sentences flow and organization of ideas. Amazingly, the organization of the ideas seems to come quite naturally with practice of writing in general. I have focused mainly on editing sentence structure (as well as the age-old capitalization, spelling, and punctuation) and after time, the organization of the rest of the writing seems to come quite easily.
