Should students be required to use a keyword in each entry?

A sentence can still be sent without a key word written.

I'm not sure whether this is a problem. While we'd like to have students write the words included, it'd also be nice if they could write the story without having to use a keyword every time. Perhaps we should have students write one keyword in each entry?

I don't think they should be required to use one. They should just be required to use x number of them before submitting. We don't want to stifle their story just because they ran out of words.

For the ability of creating sentences without a key word, I agree. Students are constructing passages collaboratively. Thus, the “forcing” of key words for each and every sentence is not a genuine way for students to learn.
