TRENDS IN WRITING - BEST PRACTICES IN WRITING INSTRUCTION - WEEK FOUR

Ladies, I must say that we have learned a huge amount of information about varieties  of writing-related topics. This week, the main emphasis was on the various writing strategies teachers may employ in the classroom. One of the things I admired or like the most about this week's class was how much I learned from the numerous presentations. It was a great idea to involve every student in an exercise where they had to demonstrate how to use each strategy. Demonstrating   the importance of utilizing a rubric to the class and how it can benefits teachers, parents, and students spark my interest the most. I never knew how crucial it was as a teacher until the presentation. Although there was a lot to learn in this class, one concept particularly stood out to me  which I think is very important in my opinion. Teachers are aware that writing is challenging, and improving one's writing is even more challenging. When writing or learning how to construct a piece of writing, students are less likely to give it their all. . Teachers can diversify instruction to ensure that every student learns in a different way by now utilizing the different varieties of writing strategies in the classroom.  By doing this, student participation in their learning is increased and teacher-student communication is improved. Overall, the class session was really fruitful and pleasant,  A  loner time span for each demonstration of the  strategies would have been helpful to the new students as a further recommendation

Yes, Chelsey. As a visual learner, the presentation truly sparked my interest, and I learned a lot also from the presentation I did. Each of these strategies will be extremely beneficial to us as teachers and our students when we return to the classroom. This has given me a fresh perspective when it comes to writing. Just by using these strategies, we can make our work simpler by involving every student when writing and even help us become effective writers as teachers.

I do agree Chelsey I never a rubric held such an importance. I am also happy that the lecture highlighted so many best practices in writing as someone is finally acknowledging that "we cannot teach a fish to climb a tree" and as audio-visual learner myself I am sure the students will be happy that there many strategies to choose from.
