That seems contradictory, but I don&#8217;t mean it to be. Writing from the heart is a good thing; the &#8220;reason&#8221; I&#8217;m referring to is the idea of withholding judgment and writing with humility. Writing is most difficult for me to read when it is rife with errors in grammar and usage. So, that&#8217;s the pragmatic answer. Equally as concerning, though, is when generalizations are used instead of specific examples. \u2014<em>Professor Lia Cravedi<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can turn a good paper into a great paper?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>New ideas and connections to other \u201clearnings.\u201d \u2014<em>Professor Jen Prue<\/em><\/li><li>Back to passion and humility.

So, it needs to be specific\u2014 \u2014 particularly as it relates to the objectives, instructional sequence, etc. They need to be organized sequentially and include details such as times for various activities.
