CHELSEY -CHALLENGES IN THE TEACHING OF WRITING+ STAGES OF WRITING DEVELOPMENT - WEEK FIVE

 

adLadies, we can all agree that teaching is a magnificent profession since it is rewarding to have an impact on children's lives. However, many people are unaware of the challenges that come with this field of work. This week, we will examine a quick description five main challenges in the teaching of writing that teachers encounter in today's classrooms these include Multidimensional nature of writing ,    writing as a decontextualized task, Absence of prosody, body language, and facial expression in writing, Writers cannot assume shared context with the reader,   Writer’s limited information about reader’s knowledge, opinion, and reading competence  and a brief overview of the stages of  writing  development .we also analyze the implications of these strategies and how teachers should incorporate the usage of various writing strategies to overcome the challenges.  What piqued my interest in this class session was discovering how closely interwoven reading and writing are and how important they are. Reading and writing are important parts of thinking and learning. They remain intertwined as students’ progress in both areas. The absence of these two components could
present numerous difficulties in the teaching of writing. Additionally, I love how it incorporates a video that explains, illustrates, and gives a quick description of what is required from teachers and students at various stages of writing. Furthermore, I appreciate the abundance of images used to show us what the different stages of writing looks like. 
The video below demonstrates how our students and/or children progress through the many stages of writing as they mature.

I must add that teaching is really worthwhile, and I can attest to it ten times over. Teaching is an emotional involvement in making our world a better place and using our abilities and gifts to do so inside our own classrooms. We must recognize that each student is unique and that their talents need to be developed and acknowledged. With that stated, we do confront a number of problems when it comes to teaching students to read and write. However, if we can monitor each student who is having difficulty with reading and writing and use Miss Quinn's suggestions or other information gathered, we should be able to get our students back on track with their writing and reading. Writing and reading are inextricably linked; without reading, it is difficult to write, and vice versa. However, I have learned a lot throughout this class session about not only determining whether a child has a reading and writing challenge but also about identifying the best strategy for supporting the student to improve and become a better writer.
