week #9

Hey ladies,  We had a great discussion on the numerous techniques that we as teachers can use. These consist of adding a pushing strategy, swapping out a trading strategy, rearranging a cutting and sorting strategy, and making changes to a strategy while it is being written. Effective writing requires a revision plan approach. what stood out to me is that doing these enables me as a teacher to go back into the classroom to take a step back and allow my students to assess their own work. Also, we focused on teaching methods for supporting students who have writing difficulties in the classroom this week, which was really informative and useful. My belief is that students frequently battle with writhing; even as a teacher, I experienced this myself prior to beginning teacher education. One of my favorite aspects of this course was learning about the many kinds of struggling learners that may present in the classroom and how teachers may use the different scaffolding strategies listed under the different headings to assist students in the writing process. Each strategy was quite intriguing, especially knowing that you have a guide to help when children have problems.

CHELSEY DESIGNING WRITING ASSESSMENTS AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE PRIMARY GRADES WEEK 10

 

Hey ladies, the last and final week of this blogging and class has arrived. Let me start by saying that it has been 10 weeks of fantastic, packed with worthwhile discussions, demonstrations, and activities from our lecturer and peers. I must admit that this course has taught me a lot about writing.

This week, we concentrate on the various ways that students can be evaluated when writing. There are numerous approaches and resources that can be employed to support students' writing in the classroom. Two broad categories can be used to evaluate students during formative and summative assessments. To monitor students' writing processes during formative assessments, tools like double entry journals, learning logs and diaries can be used. However, a summative assessment can track a student's writing development using a portfolio and a rubric. The ability to monitor students' progress is crucial to being a successful teacher. Students will be more invested if they can review their development and how it relates to larger objectives. . The discussion when our lecturer explain the advantages of using rubrics in the classroom and how the 6+1 rubric can assist us as teachers tremendous  in the writing process is one of the things that I really enjoy.

I really value the visual representations of the various rubrics and the concise explanation of the requirements so that teachers can better understand the scoring system. Overall, the class was very efficient, instructive, and well-run. In addition, I gained a lot of knowledge that I will apply in the classroom when I go back.

CHELSEY WRITING STRATEGIES WEEK 9

Ladies, I'm sure we can all agree that you had some sort of  difficulties writing about a topic or reflecting on a course you took during your teacher training experience. Consider our students in the same situation. Writing is a difficult and complex task, and a child's ability to develop it depends on how interested they are in writing and how motivated they are to write. There are many benefits to writing, one of which is the chance to voice one's ideas, emotions, and opinions. Children can demonstrate their knowledge of a particular subject through writing. Effective writers must hone a variety of abilities, including the capacity to arrange ideas, use conventions, write legibly, recognize a structure, and engage an audience, regardless of the purpose of their writing. However, some of the students in the class are regarded as struggling writers. This week, our attention is on teaching techniques that can be used in the classroom to assist students who are having trouble writing. One of my favorite parts of this lesson was learning about the different types of struggle learners that can exist in the classroom and how teachers can use the various scaffolding strategies under the various headings to assist students in the writing process.

We also talked about the various revision strategies that teachers can employ. These include incorporating a pushing strategy, replacing a trading strategy, reordering  a cutting and sorting strategy, and revising a strategy while writing a strategy. The revision strategy process is essential for effective writing. It allows students to step back and critically evaluate their work.

Lastly, we also discussed how teachers can foster a learning environment for their students. It is our responsibility as educators to make sure every student receives the best education possible. As a result, our teaching environment should include tools like scissor tapes, dictionaries, and spelling books. One aspect of this subject that particularly interested me was the variety of activities teachers can use to promote writing.

CHELSEY PROMOTING WRITING - APPROCHES TO WRITING -WEEK EIGHT

Hey guys, can you believe it's already week eight? I'm sure you learned a lot from the pass few weeks of literature class. This week's emphasis is on the various methods that primary school teachers employ to teach writing. It gives an overview of each strategy, explains how it works, and explains how primary teachers can use the most promising aspects of each strategy to improve their writing instruction.  For a beginning writer, there are many things to consider, including letter formation on the page, writing horizontally from left to right, spacing between words, using letters to represent word sounds, capitalizing proper nouns and sentence starts, and correctly placing punctuation. The goal of penmanship instruction was to ensure children formed letters correctly so they could produce neat, readable writing. The next approaches we touch were the rules based approach in this approach involves teaching children to correctly write words and sentences. It includes activities like identifying parts of speech, locating sentence elements such as subjects and predicates, learning and applying rules for subject-verb agreement and pronoun use, and practicing punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. The process approach involves students   in the writing process.  They were three  things that piqued my interest. firstly, I found that  genre approach has a wide variety of different genre . I found it interest because it will allow the students to be able to be creative in any piece of writing they produce and allow gain interest in what genre of books they want to read. Additionally, the strategy approach and the multi modal  approach . Strategy approach the uses of the abbreviation to assist students like TREE and POW was just an excellent ideas for a teacher to display in her class to guide students in the writing process. Lastly the incorporate of the different elements of the multi modal to reach each students. In my opinion , I believe this is an excellent strategy that  teachers should  employ in the 21st century classroom its an excellent approach to reach all students needs.   Overall, the class was quite effective, educational, and well executed

week 8

Hello everyone, I hope this week has been fruitful for every one of you. This was all about several approaches that may be used in the classroom to improve students' writing. But why are these ways to teach writing important? These approaches assist teachers to find suitable models to suit each students writing ability.  I honestly had no idea that there were actual approaches that can be used to improve writing. Also, the fact that handwriting is a real technique for writing was the one that stuck out for me. Miss Quinn, on the other hand, took the time to explain each technique, and I like that she gives us the opportunity to demonstrate each so that we can better comprehend each of them. By doing so, I was able to thoroughly grasp the concept and significance of each technique, learning how they function and how they may be used in the classroom. I really liked how the rules-based approach was used. The rules-based approach described how it teaches children to write words and phrases correctly. The most significant aspect of using these ways is that the teacher may select a strategy that is appropriate for each student. The video also provided us with insight into the various approaches, which was beneficial to me as a visual and audio learner. This lesson was really engaging and instructive, and there was a lot of material to take back to the classroom to assist our students to improve overall writing and reading skills.

 

CHELSEY THE PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING WRITING WEEK SEVEN

 

My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and require a stimulating educational environment in which they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. I believe that teaching is a lifetime commitment and it’s my desire to foster an environment in which students can reach their full potential. I will, as a teacher, create a setting that encourages, and involves children in an authentic, original, and free-flowing expression of thoughts, feelings, and ideas in order to facilitate their love for reading and, particularly, their learning of writing. I'll design activities to encourage and pique their interest in writing. For example playing a game with pictures, think, share, pass and write about it. These activities will help them to analyze information which will enable them to critically think and write. It is my responsibility as a teacher to foster and develop a love of writing among my students. In the classroom, I could create a learning environment that includes things like a class library with a diverse selection of books, listening stations with headphones that can play audios, posters with various writing-process algorithms, and   writing centers with supplies like paper, pencils, and crayons. My goal as a teacher is to make learning come alive for all of my students and to encourage their personal development. To accomplish this, I will use a variety of teaching methods such as independent work, share reading , cooperative learning, and hands-on activities to meet the needs of all of my students. "I believe that every student is unique and capable of learning in their own unique way, as Gardener explains in his theory of multiple intelligences."

Week #7 My Philosophy of teaching

My teaching philosophy is to create an environment that encourages guided exploration. I think that learning occurs most effectively in situations that are both relevant and realistic. I believe that students learn to write well when they understand the importance of good writing. Assign brief writing activities in my classrooms on a regular basis. Give direction throughout the writing process. I will help my students by instilling in them the importance of their work and the fact that their writing will be read and accepted. Students should be given the chance to speak in front of the class. Enable my students to grow intellectually and comprehend difficult material. They will learn how to work productively and arrange their thoughts by developing precise definitions. I should not be the only audience for my students as a teacher. Sharing my experiences, my stories, and my process with students has been the key to connecting with them on a very real level about what it takes to be a writer. Having a positive attitude about reading and rewriting my students will be more willing to take on that attitude as well. Writing alongside my students is motivating. Finally, as a teacher, you are responsible for more than simply your students' creativity. It's about who you're becoming as you create. I make it my job to boost my students' confidence, develop their abilities, and encourage them to love the process of reading and writing.

Week #6

Hey, fellow group member, this week was refreshing not only physically but also psychologically since we were able to refresh our knowledge on the six writing traits of planning, drafting, rewriting, editing, and publishing. It further sparked my curiosity when we were taught that writing characteristics are all linked to the writing process. Miss Quinn took her time going over each trait's meaning. We had a brief teaching moment when we discussed words that can be used to begin sentences and ones that cannot be used. That was really instructive for me. As a result, the six traits approach allows me as a teacher and for students to focus on one or two aspects of writing at a time, making learning to write more manageable and successful for students. It is also a method of providing students with precise feedback through the examination of their writing. In class, we saw a few videos on the subject, which I found interesting. I hope you like them as well and remember things essential to do in class. Miss Quinn should continue to share her expertise with other students in order to become a better teacher in future classes, in my opinion. It was a really informative class session.
