It was very clear and easy to read.<br /><br />The only thing I might add is perhaps a few reasons of why Benny's shaking reasoning came about.Renettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292065501762807341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168278597203252936.post-60092053739838846992010-01-26T11:18:29.310-08:002010-01-26T11:18:29.310-08:00I totally agree with what you said.

I would have liked to hear some suggestions regarding ways to help students focus more on learning math instead of focusing on getting good grades.Erica Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320453058061505345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168278597203252936.post-88047264164107624512010-01-26T08:45:54.559-08:002010-01-26T08:45:54.559-08:00I really liked how you connected both papers and t...I really liked how you connected both papers and talked about specific things Benny did to show his misunderstanding of math. It did seem to me that the topic sentence was how Benny thought that math had no reason, but ended up being an argument for how students work for grades instead of understanding. I think I would have worded my topic sentence a bit differently to include both valid points that were made in the paragraph.Scott Sackett :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00909745424741302680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168278597203252936.post-65609843090033058382010-01-26T06:16:16.329-08:002010-01-26T06:16:16.329-08:00Your second paragraph is written well in that you ...Your second paragraph is written well in that you took a nice spin off of the major point you mentioned in your first paragraph to how it applied today. This seemed to re-strengthen the points you mentioned in your first paragraph.<br />It would have been helpful in the second paragraph to have some examples of how teachers can avoid causing students to simply work for a grade.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367075959465850157noreply@blogger.com
