Details matter

When you are a seven-year-old boy who hates to write, there is a giant difference between the following two assignments:

1. Write six of your 10 spelling words, each in its own sentence.


2. Write a story including six of your 10 spelling words.

The first assignment results in six painful sentences, each including one spelling word. The second gets you this (spelling words are underlined):

The cow and mouse went out of town for the week. The mouse burned her mouth and they ran to the doctor.

The end.

Efficiency, my friends.
