Two questions- will it also be sub-divided by grade level/or school(elem. mid. high)? Will there also be a list of the types of writing example(expository, descriptive etc.)? Sign me up.... Great IDEA TODD This database will be a great start. Two questions- will it also be sub-divided by grade level/or school(elem. mid. high)?
Will there also be a list of the types of writing example(expository, descriptive etc.)?

Could you say that again? Read through it before you click "Submit Comment" to make sure it says what you want it to. Too bad I can't let you edit the comment after you submit it, but that's just the way it goes. Mike, your comment doesn’t make sense. Could you say that again?

I typically don't allow rewrites anyhow, so what good does it do the student for me to circle every single time s/he missed using a comma? Even when I do allow rewrites, those kinds of errors, the ones that I point out, are often the only ones fixed. So we set the precident that if we don't mark it, it isn't wrong. That's a bad writing paradigm to fall into.<br /> <br /> And for the students with "23" on their paper, the comment database would give them a chance to read a bit more in depth about what the teacher thinks of the paper. The student wouldn't be forced to write a comment about it, but the option would be there. And if the student ever was forced, I can only assume it would be during class, so it's no extra work. Is it?

From a student's standpoint it might not be a welcome change. I think you are on to something with the types of writing you are asking your students to do. I love the "This I Believe" site...what a goldmine of ideas. I think that the point of that entry on the Blog of Proximal Development is one that begs for more thought. I know that when I turned something in to a teacher, I did want to know what they thought as readers. That opinion was more important than the corrective red marks of the grammarian.
