Do you think that this was a really good project to assign?

I believe it was a good project. My eighth grade teacher actually assigned it to us, and I enjoyed doing it a lot.

I love the project idea and will probably adapt it at some time for my sixth graders.

I did this assignment with my eighth graders and most of them loved it. Our entry lengths were shorter the idea was still the same.

I think it's a great assignment -- I am currently working with my 9th graders on a similar project (they won't do the whole alphabet, but will choose about 8-10 letters).

I haven't tried it yet --- I knew it wouldn't work with my kids this year.

Deb, why don't you think it will work? Some of my least enthusiastic writers enjoy working on this.

I wrote one along with my students last year and they love reading mine.

We had a pretty set syllabus this year, and it didn't fit well into that.

Yeah, it seemed really neat. It would have made an interesting assignment for Creative Writing class. :)
