		<description><![CDATA[I have a Twitter account, but I don&#8217;t use it very often. I may in the future, and when I do I want to remember that there are even ways to use it for assignments. Of course, when and if I do, I want to make sure I am not guilty of building the creepy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my English classes today, we worked on descriptive writing. We discussed the difference between objective and subjective description and Stephen King&#8217;s quote, &#8220;Sparse description leaves the reader feeling bewildered and nearsighted. Over description buries him or her in details and images. The trick is to find a happy medium.&#8221; While my students wrote, I [...]]]></description>

The very first time I taught English composition, I unintentionally caught a plagiarist. I was grading papers, and as I read one student’s introduction, I [...]]]></description>

One article I frequently reference when I have this discussion was published in Slate.com a couple of years ago. [...]]]></description>
