Kimberly, you're right, there is not a word count field where you would typically write your Reading/Research Journals. (There is in the Dashboard area of your individual blog where you would write your major papers.) Having said that, I'm not interested in counting words, really. I just want folks to write a fully developed paragraph, which is about 250 words. You'll get used to knowing what it looks like (maybe do a word count offline in your word processor for the first one or two). As a general rule, I don't count words unless it looks significantly short :-)

Hello, anonymous commenter. Care to elaborate? I would very much like to understand better the reality you speak of.

Hi Anna,

Thanks for your comment. Yes, the stories all come from the Junior Great Books series. Aidan really likes it, and that soup was so yummy. You should give it a try--make some stone soup with your friends :-)

Hey, Jason. No problem. Let me know if you give something like this a try. Maybe we can compare notes. (There are others in the department at MV doing similar things too.) Happy holidays!

Thank you for your always kind words. We learn compassion from our family. I've learned from you.

Andrés, thank you for your comment. I very much appreciate it and never thought my post would reach across borders or be read in a class. Thanks for passing it on. Do you teach? Where? At what level? I'm curious because I teach at a College in Chicago, IL.
