Thank you! And I don't think it's possible to enjoy all the learning in our lives. In fact, some of my most remembered lessons have been painful - eg wear good quality socks and shoes on a hike. Seems like your students already realize this. Having the kids engaged in content creation seems to me to be a most motivating and meaningful pursuit. There are so many questions they will need to answer, many of them relating to authentic audience. It's a wonderful opportunity to acquire "real" writing skills.
