I've had a lot of grading to do for the last few weeks. I finally have a routine that works for me (thanks, Johnnie). Almost every morning I grade three papers as soon as I get up. Then I have the rest of the day to do whatever I want/need to do. Today that has meant that I've read, developed a prompt for the SJVWP Summer Institute, done other Writing Project work, and blogged. The thing I love about this schedule is that it allows me to have a guilt-free day.
I'm not sure how this is going to work after Thursday when I receive 19 portfolios (complete with rewritten essays) and 12 final exams. The finals will go quickly, but I'm not so sure about the portfolios.
