It's a gorgeous Sunday morning! No wine, just tea. I love seeing your story in print. I love the way it flows. I could visualize you and your sister as little girls. The voice of your sister, Kate, clearly comes through. Thank you for including the picture. I can only imagine the secrets that 200 year old house holds.
And for helping me become a better writer, I thank you.

At 2:36pm on July 10, 2008, Mary F.C. said…: Thank you for helping me develop as a writer. This weekend, I will reread your story, while sipping over a glass of red wine. To be continued...

At 2:33pm on July 10, 2008, Karen said…: Loved your piece! Your word choice to your details, everything flowed.

At 2:32pm on July 10, 2008, Ryan A. said…: Eve, you really did it. I think you have real gifts as a writer. You have a poetic sensibility, and your story reads very much like a prose poem, and a lot like a great writer I admire--Anne Beattie. The story is so unsettling, so steadily unsettling. The pacing is perfect. Keep writing (I know you said you felt like you're starting to write again.) I will be happy to read your work any time.

At 2:25pm on July 10, 2008, Beth Billard said…: While I liked the introduction you had before this first piece is really excellent without it. It fits together. The imagery and the pace made me feel like I was young and growing up. You create a place for the reader and it's like I'm there. I want to bake zucchini bread in that house! You also have an artful way of getting across a theme in a subtle way. Nice!

I've been sending you messages about various bogus email options. I hope you've gotten them. Here are a few more.

Gaggle.net worked well for us. I used it with my 6th - 8th grades.

It is managed. You can set the usernames (for example kathy smith in room 303 could be kathy303@gaggle.net

The accounts can have restriction as as to who they send to and who sends to them.

Gaggle.net has free, paid, and a third level. If you select the free there is advertising similar to yahoo.

I just went into think.com. They're doing a massive update of the site right now - http://think.com/promotion/2008_08/. At a glance, it looks as though accounts are created for a specific amount of time, with notification posted when your account is approaching expiration date.

Starting at the elementary level, there is definitely a need for digital projects and lessons to include an email component, using such programs as think.com or gaggle. A few months ago, a high school librarian asked me to do a workshop with her 12 grade students on using Google Reader. When I saw some of the names the students were using for their email accounts, I had to ask, "You're not going to give a possible employer that address, right?!" Kind of drove home the reality that many of our secondary students have had
zero modeling or guidance on email netiquette.

Hope these are helpful.
