A setting favorable to the development of authors

By


It's the final lecture of the semester. My time spent at DTE has been extremely memorable, and the connections that have been made there will last a lifetime. It has been brought to my attention that educators have a wide variety of options available to them in order to better meet the needs of their pupils.


Ms. Quinn focused on two different persuasive writing strategies.



The gradual release of responsibility framework is a method of teaching that places an emphasis on guiding students along the path toward independent learning. This quick video from YouTube goes into further detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK5uBmriDNo.

Here is an image that shows the various stages of the model.

Now, cultivating an atmosphere that fosters the production of writers is easier than you might think it is.

To begin, the act of writing should be pleasant; there should be a location set aside where people of all ages and backgrounds can practice their writing skills. It has been imaginatively dubbed the Writer's Corner after all.

Sharing the work that our students have created is another important thing to do. Students gain a great deal of inspiration when they see their work displayed in public areas of the classroom. Reading and writing are two sides of the same coin. It is critical for students to gain exposure to a variety of genres and modes of written expression.

As educators, it is also our responsibility to convey to our students that the act of writing can be enjoyable. The following is an illustration of an engaging Halloween writing activity that can be completed by students.



Here is a list of criteria that we as teachers ought to take into consideration when evaluating the writing that students have produced.




Overall, the strategies that I have learned throughout the entire course will be the foundation of my future classes.

    Great insight Demante'. The Halloween poster was also very creative. Of course, anything with design catches my attention. I am now thinking of the many writing activities and themes I can utilize with my students. Cheers.

    I am really going to miss our jokes and laughters during these class sessions. Remember that children tend to mimic what they see so ensure to be the best role model you can be and your students will definitely become great readers and writers.

Support for Struggling Writers

By Roannah Roberts
  Support for Struggling Writers Hallo everyone, welcome back to another wonderful week of my blog.   😊 Trusting that you guys were greatly informed in my last blog about the six approaches to teaching writing and are ready for today's blog post. <3   Why support struggling writers? Let’s face it, we have all had some issues with developing our writing pieces at some point in our lives. Yes! Even teachers too. I would admit even as I am doing this degree I may second guess what I have written, or may not even know how to start. Students also become struggling writers because they lack interest in the topics given, or their writing pieces may be disorganized. Here are some other reasons why students may struggle to write in the classroom: But how do we as teachers support these struggling writers within the classroom? Here are twelve (12) strategies to support struggling writers and some pointers to assist you in developing each strategy within your classroo...

What seems to be the problem? : Struggling Writers Edition

By
  As we begin winding down to the end of the semester, I often sit and reminisce on the first set of classes we attended and of course our first blog entries. We have come a long way my dear colleagues, but our journey is far from over. This week focused on strategies that can be used to support struggling writers. In my opinion, this is an issue that should be addressed as often as possible. Many issues can surface as students are learning new things every day. It is the task of the teacher to ensure that students are grasping what is being covered and also tending to any issues they may have where writing and reading are concerned. A struggling reader can take many forms. The student may not know what topic they want to write on, one may be struggling to expound on their ideas and we all have the one student who for some reason seems to have a burning fire under his/her chair and can't sit still. It may be easier for the teacher to have a binder or a folder containing each stud...

Ensuring that students are within a positive learning environment when they are writing is important in the development of exceptional writers. If a student is unable to write for, they may be having issues with spelling, creating ideas, unable to structure their writing pieces appropriately, may lack understanding of grammar concepts, or struggling with writing overall for their lack of interest. A teacher’s objective is to foster a supportive learning environment for his/her students in the classroom, which would subsequently develop their writing substantially. In achieving this goal, a supportive learning e...
