Peer & Learner Reviewed:
“The thing I love the most is the step-by-step approach. It’s a terrific way to scaffold anyone, especially students who may have little to no clue how to approach writing a paper like this. You tell what to do – you show what to do – you retell or explain the same thing again briefly and then give readers the opportunity to try it. And the “it” is a small piece of the giant compare/contrast paper. Done any other way would totally lose at least 90% of learners. Brilliant! So doable, and as I think I may have mentioned to you before, you have de-mystified writing. Oh, and the “Now, do it again!” line repeated over and over is terrific and real!” (Mary Osborne, 2024, 40-year public education veteran and staff developer)
