<p>My D has really improved her writing by participating in on-line Role-Playing Games, where they write very long & involved stories & share them. Her conventions (capitalizations, punctuation & spelling) still could use work, but she has great ideas & expresses them quite well. I notice she writes a LOT more when it’s HER idea. Will have to consider the idea of paying for the movie & dinner if she writes a persuasive paper about WHY she should go & what it will be about (doubt she’ll go for it tho–would probably rather spring for the money than deal with the CHORE).</p>
