As I write, there are six students and three tutors in the WC.

Ali works with Julian on finalizing his paper on federalism for Mr. Ruzzo. This is the culmination of two weeks of work and four visits to the writing center. Julian had worked with tutors earlier in the year in Ms. Terry's class, but was reintroduced to the WC last week when Mr. Ruzzo invited us into his classroom.

Rossana doesn't need a tutor, she just needs to type and print her paper, and she's got moral support. Jennifer and Anthonie anxiously await her finishing so they can go home for the day. This is Rosanna's writing center m.o. She's here a lot, and she almost never asks for help. Just typing and printing. Fine with us; she knows we're here if she needs us.

Shaq is back. For the second straight day, Shiquile is in the writing center after school working on his ghost story for Ms. Bylaska. This time Kelly is helping him finish what Ben helped him start. She provides a sounding board for his thoughts as he progresses through the plot.

After some technical difficulties, Devon and Luis get underway. The first draft of the ghost story was trapped on a computer at home, so a phone call, an e-mail and some finaigling gets them ready to work.
That's it. . .just a regular day. We'll be here a while, just like every other day.
