#2 came home from school one day last week very excited.
His class had participated in a city-wide writing assessment. Each Grade Four student in the system wrote on the topic "A Memorable Event" and then the stories were sent into the division office to be graded by committee.
He was the only student in Grade Four in his whole school to achieved a mark of 6 on his assessment, the highest mark available.
Here is the description of a piece of "6" writing:
This piece is full of creative ideas, with lots of interesting details. The lead hooks the reader's attention and the conclusion wraps the piece up neatly. Through the whole piece, the words are powerful and the writer's voice is strong. This piece is a pleasure to read or brings out strong feelings for the reader.
That's my boy!

Mentok - Let's compromise. That's our boy! (Although you have a point - he gets his writing abilities from you.)
