To make it an educational post, I would identify key themes and techniques in the writing of that post that make it so successful. I would compare and contrast it with another great example of student writing with Shoshanna’s post Hiding out from the Third Millenium.

I never watched the old Andy Griffith shows -- they ran at a time I was too busy with my own happenings to watch TV much. I have seen a few of the Northern Exposure episodes, though. An interesting mix of environments. I took the time to click on your Gold Beach link and wander around a bit before reading the rest of your post. Loved the artists' gallery and open studio concept. That alone made me want to visit. I also loved the paragraph beginning "Houses go unlocked, car keys..." And this, "...everyone here is crazy, and nobody minds." Sounds like a piece of Heaven up there. Gotta' love the woman who wants to bring a bit of Egyptian decor to the White House. I finished your story laughing -- sputtering my coffee at once point. Not so much at the personalities as at your little editorials on each. Funny stuff. Toward the end you mention the "unimpeded freedom to be who (the townspeople) are." Oh, if only we all gave ourselves permission to pursue just that -- no matter where we live. I enjoyed this, Shoshanna. And I like the name of your blog... Barb A fun read.

We have a cabin in the pine forest where, dare I mention it ,people still drive Combi vans and talk real slow. We locked up and left one time only to return 5 months later and find the front door had blown open while we were away and no one had been in but the bush creatures LOL! I enjoyed hearing your the town very much! Lee Beautifully put and reminds me so much of our own hideawy here in Aus.
