Wk3 Project Reflection: "More matter, with less art"


POST 4

Wow!  That was invigorating!  I must do this word limit thing more often!

I have a phrase in my classroom:  “Too much water in the Kool-Aid.”  As intoxicatingly enamoured as I am of verbiage, too much of it dilutes its impact.   Distilling down into crisp, knife-sharp prose, shorn of its maquillage:  I shiver.

I’ll stop now.

  1. I have a couple of ideas about what this is in reference to, but I would love if you could elaborate... but then again, I guess that would be contrary to the whole idea of the post. :)

    "Too much water in the Kool-Aid" ...Hadn't heard that one before, but I will be using it from now on.
