WEEK#8 -APPROACH TO WRITING

 

This was not my favorite class at all guys however I paid keep attention as I rrealise this topic will be really important during practicum.

Penmanship Approach is the longest standing method use to teach writing to students. It  geared toward generating legible, precise, and artistically shaped letters on the page. Throughout the 20th century, most classrooms continued to teach handwriting, although it received less attention as the curriculum started to emphasize creating unique compositions. The most effective handwriting instruction occurs in short, frequent, and structured lessons. Lessons should last 10-20 minutes each day and focus on writing fluently and automatically rather than on forming perfect letters. Proficient writers possess fluent handwriting skills just like strong readers possess fluent decoding skills. The beauty of this approach is that basiclly imitate what is already traced over and over agiain as as the saying goes practive makes perfect.

Process Approach

This approach is giving me “teach the writer” tease and the reason why I say that students have to pre-wrte,drafting edit,edit edt edit and edit again. The beauty of the Process approach form my understanding in class, treats all writing as a creative act which requires time and positive feedback to be done well. 

Rules based approach

This approach seems so colonial lol! Rules-based instruction involves teaching children to correctly write words and sentences. In sentence combining, children merge two or more short, choppy sentences into one longer, more effective sentence. Practice combining isolated sentences seems to positively impact students' original writing.Some evidence exists that it also positively impacts older elementary students' writing. I donot know if anyone you agree but I am happy we have options.

Genre approach

My first thought when I saw the genre approach as first I thought of music , I am not sure why but I like this approach I really do .I like this approach because it give the opportunity to progressively learn different form of writing like poerty,letters, stories and the list goes on. This approach understands that there is no such thing as a single literacy.

 

Strategy approach

A strategic approach  from what I gathered makes the writing process—including the thinking and processes involved in writing—visible to students. By making the process visible, students have control over it and can use it for their own purposes  and this approach is something I will be using for a very long time as it caters to individuals who are innovative and creative in their  writing. 

Multi modal approach

In my opnion this is the best approach in writing to teach students as it takes into consideration the various learning abilities of students.
