The casual language is a bit off-putting, but I really like this approach taken to demonstrate to students not merely the finished product but also the thinking process that takes place when writing an essay. "Here are the second and third parts, in which students get inside this writer's head as he talks through and composes his essay. They hear the thoughts, they see the sentences form, all in real time. (Don't tell me technology can't improve instruction.)" I need to do that - I need to create some videos in which I logically deconstruct (and tear apart) some argumentative pieces.
