I'm wondering about the suggestions Ellsworth recommends as I'm sure many of us are thinking too! As a student/writer now, I can really appreciate her approach of using writing as a two-way communication tool and wonder how differently this would require our classrooms to be structured. When I think about this in terms of my classroom, I actually have very little written from my students to evaluate. When grading time comes around, out comes that little performance rubric to assess who was a 3 and who was 4. I'm not evaluating the written word of students proccessing of their learning, but rather their "musiking." How can I maintain the flow of communication with my students when I must evaluate the worth of their learning with meaningless numerals?

Why MUST you evaluate your students that way. You cant incorporate other ways of assessment? If you really wanted a written way of seeing what they were understanding you could give written homeworks or even something as simple as an idea box that you could leave in theclass and if students wanted to write something they could drop it in
