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.

It was a wonderful week getting to learn new techniques for guiding our students' errors and improving their writing. Additionally, as you mentioned, the atmosphere in the classroom is crucial. The classroom is where the child gets in the mood to learn, and creating posters and other teaching resources, it aids with student guidance.

Chelsey, I am so grateful for Ms.Quinn as there are so many students struggling to write and to be given so many writing strategies to choose from to assist and improve students, I can see that we would be equipped to be excellent teacher when we return to the classroom.I also argee that environment of the classroom is important as the athmosphere that the teacher brings into the classroom sets the tone of student's leaning. I also agree with what Ms.Quinn said in class that when students enter in the classroom, the classroom should looking like a museum of charts,posters,samples of student work, books for them to read and even an authors chair, not only would it reflect on student's performance but it will improve of being a good teacher as well.
