We used to do "book reports." You read a book, you write a book report. Sometimes you had oral book reports. I remember literally shaking before/while doing those in junior high school.
Fast forward to the modern era. Now it is a "book share." And this time, the boy has to make a paper doll, and write various things on the body parts. Summary of the plot goes on the torso, conflict goes on the left leg, etc. Hmm. Of course he *loves* to do this kind of thing. Thankfully I have a stick (screen time) to use.
And no, I did not help him and crank out a fully articulated version. I only offered editorial comment...like, "you didn't spend any time on this, go back and write some more." Good gawd, I've become my mother.
