Re Writing Classroom

Writing is an essential tool and has been noted as a precursor for great speaking by teachers at all grade levels. However, with writing being an important aspect throughout one’s academic career and beyond, it is one of the most tedious tasks to teach. It sounds like a cliché, but in order to get better at something, one has to keep completing the task and each time, accomplish something different while maintaining prior knowledge. There are various ways that enhance a student’s writing abilities and the focus of these research strategies will prove that encouraging students to write enhances writing.

The writing process is something that you figure out yourself as you go through school. I personally think that is why they make us take English for so many years. Through the years, I found that some teachers forced you to write certain ways. I believe that

My time spent in the Clinical setting, so far, has been extremely inciteful as to how to become a better educator in a classroom setting. Through the data I collected I was able to connect Borich’s Seven Variables of learning to the students. By being in the clinical setting for nearly two months, I have been exposed to new ways of thinking when it comes to structuring a classroom and instructing a classroom. Within this reflection you will find out how I would better plan an effective lesson for the pupils in my future classroom. You will also discover what I will do about certain issues in the classroom and how I will address/fix them.

Consider how long people have been writing, several thousand years. During this time human civilizations were able to authentically appropriate the act of writing, which still approaches every child learning to write as something inauthentic. There is a place and a meaning and a culture of writing within most cultures today, as we learn to type, and depend on typing more and more, the traditions of writing are becoming displaced. When was the last time you hand wrote a letter? Why bother when we can just e-mail someone immediately? Does not the mediacy of such communication lessen its importance? When you write a letter, you think about what you should say, what you want to say, and what you want to leave unsaid, the timeliness of its delivery

Teaching requires creating a classroom where all students are able to participate in the learning. Chapter 1 discusses the importance language, expectations, and integration. Chapter 1 introduces the topic of multicultural teaching.

As a student, it’s been an experiences. Over the course; I have grown and learned more on different skills of writing. I been a student at Colorado Christian University for about a year. One specific experiences that I’d recall, was when I had to write a letter to a co-worker. I thought I communicated well, however the feedback that I received told me the opposite. The co-worker told me that I had broken English in my writing. He told me that he was confused on what I was trying to explain. Even though what he said was true, I was upset. I didn 't realize then, that it was important for his feedback. I had taken many English courses, and it taught me that in order to become a writer, was to write. One way that helped me improve and overcome my weakness of writing was feedback from my professors and other students. The next step was to find ways to keep organized when I began to write. In spite of all my mistakes and weakness as a writer, communication was important through writing, because we have to use strong academic language to write. To point out that these are just a few I listed as a reflection on my writing skills.

Scenario 6: Tom is a boy in grade one who everyday comes in and puts on a dress from the house center, he then tells everyone that he is a girl and wants to be referred to as a she. The teacher has mentioned this situation to Tom’s parents but they seem to pretend as if they did not hear anything.

It is used as an organisational tool, mode of communication, transferring information to another, a prompt for thinking and, to reinforce relationships (Cremin & Myhill, 2012). An example would be making a list of things to do in a piece of paper to be reminded of tasks and duties. Curriculum and policy documentation of writing may not always sharpen the child's writing skills. It can help as a guideline but writers are developed through writing and reflecting on their writing experiences (Cremin & Myhill, 2012). Completing writing exercises and implementing reading journals can improve an individual’s writing skills. Writing is a participation to set a specific social practise. It is then shaped by social and historical understanding about what writing is, what form it takes and what it is good for in specific contexts (Cremin & Myhill, 2012). For example, Arabians has their own form of language which is in Arabic symbols instead of letters like the English language. Language can symbolise an individual. Educators should inspire their students to learn a different language other than their native language. The twenty-first century’s technology has helped the way language has

Last semester was exceptionally challenging; however, it was extremely beneficial because I had to work harder than any of my other classes before. I think various elements contributed to me being unsuccessful in Nursing 204. My aunt died in March with Lupus and that affected me in a huge on the grounds that she played a big role in my life, since I was a child. I was still in the denial stage and my emotions took over, which caused me to become less motivated in school. I just felt like I had no inspiration last semester and I should not have let my emotions hindered my education. In high school, I generally experienced difficulty taking tests that were not seeking the direct answers, and the Nursing 204 tests were not quite the same as the tests I would regularly take. My procrastination last semester played an enormous role in failing the course. When I initially

Students need to be able to write to a specific audience, so in this step students should write about a topic and they should write as their group is their audience. Then when they are done with their writing, they will share their writings with their group. Sharing their writings to their groups helps them to rely information to readers. Then as an assessment, teachers should be able to notice a difference in the students writing compared to when they first started the guided writing. As the students go through this process, it is to help them realize new strategies to help their writing, as well as becoming a better writer. The students themselves should also notice how their writing has improved and the different strategies for what they learn during this process.

Educationworld presented an article entitled Bringing Acceptable-Use Policies into the 21st Century by Kari Rhame Murphy. Murphy stressed the importance of adjusting school handbooks to implement technology guidelines and precautions if students were to begin bringing their own digital devices. She challenged her instructional technology staff to revise the expectations that “reflect what we value about learning, teach our students digital citizenship, and empower our teachers” (Murphy, 2012). Murphy created 5-steps to support district leaders, schools and teachers in creating guidelines for technological use in schools. First, a vision statement should be put into place that follows closely with the school or district vision statement

This cartoon shows what has changed in a classroom setting from 1961 to 2011. What has changed when a student earns a bad report and the situation this causes between the student and the parents and the teacher. The reaction the parents have towards the student then and now as well as the reaction the parents have towards the teacher then and now.

The overall functioning of a classroom is impacted by trust, safety, and consistency. When a student does not feel safe he or she will reflect this through his or her behavior. Trust is important for students to take risks and allow learning to occur in the classroom. Trust, safety, and consistency are beneficial in the learning environment. A classroom where students feel safe, realize the teacher is consistent, and trust is developed, will allow students to grow and change socially, emotionally, and academically. This will offer a positive learning environment.

There are many different forms and styles used in writing. Writing is a form of communication that is used to document and express ideas people have. Through the years as people grow and learn knew ways of writing, writing awareness of a person will evolve into a much higher level of thinking. From the first term paper a person writes in high school to the papers they hand in at the college level, the writing will have matured over the years. The authors of writing develop new and more sophisticated ways in expressing themselves through the words they use in writing. Throughout history writers have found ways in which they can achieve the goals of gaining the readers attention and keep them interested. A good form of

Mrs. Ross has her fourth grade students move their desks together into groups of 2 to do a group activity. She instructs them to pair with anyone they choose. Teresa raises her hand, “I don’t want to pair with Megan again because she doesn’t do any of the work. Can I have someone else?” Megan who is soft-spoken just looks down at the floor as the class waits for the teacher’s response. Mrs. Ross asks Teresa and Megan to come with her outside and instructs the class to carry on with the activity.
