My Regular Reads:

I write, teach writing, teach how to write, and am a writer.

August 7th, 2007 by screenwriterguy

LearningTutoring is slow over the summer, but I do have a couple of students I’m working with. One of them is a teen doing something of a writing intensive. To reinforce varying sentence structure, over the weekend I had him write 20 sentences of several different types. One of the resulting efforts was this sentence:

“To be a lawyer, you must go to a lawyer school, like my dad, who is a lawyer.”

Clearly, my work is not yet done with this particular student.

Still, even if his diction isn’t up to snuff, he has a future in philosophy. This was another of his sentences:

“Life is a mystery, and girls are complex.”

Amen, kid.

    heh. Sounds like a veritable comedic goldmine.
