*giggles* Most of my teaching has been in ESL, so my first reaction to something like that *should* be that the partner was Hispanic/Latino/Chicano, but I think I probably would have boggled, too, especially the way that first sentence is phrased.
Wow, two pages of feedback? I like this cooperative editing process, but even as an undergrad I never had to do more than a page. What age are these students? Do your students feel they benefit from the process?

Yeah...I stole it from my Engl 390 Advanced Comp class and it is INVALUABLE when the students buy into it and actually DO it. Many of them make comments on the papers and then also write up what they feel works well and where they don't understand or find it's awkward, etc. That articulated feedback as to WHY they thought a word was a great choice or WHY that paragraph needs at least one more sentence is SO much more useful than a margin-scribbled, "More."
What age are these students?I do it with ALL of my high school students--freshmen to seniors. This year I have freshmen and I have senior AP students. I usually get more like 1 1/4 pages from the freshies but some (SOME) of the AP kids do up to three pages of response. The fun part is seeing their faces when they start with, "But his PAPER is only two pages!! How can I write two pages in response?" And I just smile and say, "You'll be surprised

The best thing to do at Universal or Disney World, if you can't find a souvenir laminate with your name on it, is buy one that says JESUS. Because, as Sharon says, you know Jesus is an MIB. And if you're in an x-wing, you want him as your co-pilot.
I saw this last night and mtgat and I both remembered the same thing from an old stand up act. Guy was talking about how sports players always thank Jesus or God when they win but you never hear, "We would've won, but Jesus made me fumble."
