I believe using the “shared writing text” in a student notebook will be part of my classroom daily duties for students. Using this notebook we will be able to track the students reading and writing progression through the year. It is another way for us to maintain constant contact with each other so if there is negative or positive issue we can handle it immediately.
When I think back to the time right before we started writing our essay I realize that in order to come up with any ideas for the paper we had to chew on one thought for over ten minutes. For example when I read the sentence that we wrote about fast-paced live of professionals that reside in the city, I remember that just that one sentence took us about fifteen minutes to finally use it on our paper. It seems like we should have done some free-writing before we started this assignment. When we started to write this essay we didn’t have a clear visual on our thesis. We had lots of information that was scattered and had no connection between the Robot, the Jeep and the advertisement that was being talked about. In this essay I included lots
Shared book reading focuses on developing comprehension, alphabetics, and general reading achievement to enhance student literacy achievement. The teacher selects a text and reads it aloud to a student and/or group of students. The shared book reading program allows the teacher to model reading strategies, increase alphabetic skills, and activate and increase comprehension skills through targeted questions, prompts, and strategies. During the reading the teacher prompts students with strategic prompts and/or questions to engage the students in the text. Moreover, the teacher directs the students to key elements within the pictures, words, and/or text features. The teacher tailors the shared reading experience to meet the needs of the participants (International Reading Association Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Committee, 2012). Hence, educators are able to alter prompts, questions, and strategies to enhance the learning needs of
It was a Monday morning and students were noisy as they entered the classroom. They slowly retrieved their notebooks from the drawer in the front of the class. This left me with the following idea which I will use in my own classroom of each student using an interactive notebook which is stored in the classroom. They can never “forget” their notebook, because it is kept in class. Also, the students past stories, directions, examples and text from other sources in the notebook and then respond to these in their notebook. The notebook is broken down into different sections such as “literature”, “vocabulary” and “test practice”. This
The Capella University writing process includes four main parts. First, there is a prewriting, which allows the student to generate ideas of what the content of the assignment will be (Capella University, 2017). This step creates the audience and the purpose of the assignment. The next step is drafting the assignment, which allows the student to document the evidence that supports the main ideas (Capella University, 2017). This step is important because it helps determine if the evidence presented strongly supports the topic. The next step of the writing process is revising, which allows the student to make changes that will strengthen the content of the assignment (Capella University, 2017). Revising is another important step that
5. Explain how differences in working practices and policies affect collaborative working (A.C.2.3) Organisational practices and policies:
As a student at Portland Community College, I have found PCC to be a diverse and inclusive place for educators and students alike. This is achieved by fostering an accepting environment by the PCC staff who make this possible. If you see an opening position for a writing tutor, someone who would promote equity and efficiently assist students with their writing, please consider me for the opening position.
By using the artwork of the fantastic four (John Haward 2001) Appendix 1, I will explore how a team is different from a group. For this I will describe an award given to me as part of a team while working in a nurse led minor injury unit (MIU). By comparing the differences I shall highlight what makes a team effective rather than a collection of people.

I chose to review KidBlog which can be accessed by going to kidblog.org. This tool is a good tool to use in a classroom because of its compatibility with all devices. The purpose of KidBlog is to allow students to publish their writing online in a safe way that is managed by the teacher and also so students can practice being a digital citizen and a global collaborator. KidBlog allows the teacher to review students’ writing before it can be published. This feature ensures that all students are practicing and following the ISTE Standard of being a digital citizen. KidBlog also motivates students to be thoughtful when writing for a larger audience and allows them to connect with their peers inside and outside of their classroom.
Let’s start with that first, I loved to write. I can tell you I struggle with writing without the good ol’ autocorrect on my phone or laptop. When I was younger it was a great escape for me. I can remember in the fourth grade our teacher would have us write in a journal everyday for the last thirteen minute, and that's where I would pour my life and soul into. She is the prime reasoning for this love of mine. I probably told her too much, because I had a lot to say and this is where I was able to be heard. I want for my students to have that same outlet in my classroom. Something similar that I can respond to them with without judgment towards them, but also seeing if
The activity of shared reading includes the students participation in the reading process, unlike modeling where the students just observe the teacher reading. Shared reading is used because it gets the students involved in the reading even if the activity is difficult for them, helps students experience success which encourages future reading, and provides experience for the students before they work independently.
When it comes to academic writing, there are many genres. There are many different styles, and each academic writing has a unique meaning to it. Thinking about academic writing it is easy to think it has only one meaning, yet, in reality there is a vast amount of variations. One of the most important genres of academic writing is lab reports. Lab Reports are considered academic writing because they analyze a laboratory experiment. They are considered academic writings because they give factual evidence of what happens during an experiment. Gaining knowledge is one thing when reviewing lab reports because of the collected data over that experiment. A standard lab report consists a title page, abstract, introduction, methods and materials, results, discussion, conclusion, references, and appendices. (Waterloo) The given outline for a lab report represents what an academic writing should be presented like, which is structured and organized. This layout perfectly represents the style of what an academic writing paper should be.
As this app is four group writing, I am thinking of grouping my students, and let each group create their own book, for composing
A research study from Goddard et al. (2007) illustrated that teacher collaboration was related to improved student achievement on standardized testing. The target population for this study was compiled of forty-seven schools in an urban school district. A total of 452 teachers’ surveys and 2,536 fourth grade students’ achievement scores were used. Demographically, 67% of the student sample population were on free or reduced lunch, 57% were black, and 48% were female.
Making Mistakes is part of our lives. Imagine you are studying for a tests or writing Journal Entries for your English teacher. You are all hyped about and make plan to actually do your work. Also you were thinking that you will be getting an A in this class for sure because it sounded easy when the teacher was talking about. He even made it more easier for you by giving you one day to read and one day to do your Journal Entry.Sometimes he would even more generous and let you have an extra time in class for you to get started. In class, you have your friends surrounding you and there are major distractions to your work. So instead of doing your work you socialize throughout the class. When you come home you realize that your internet was cut off when you were at school and now it was time for wordiness to kick in because you remembered that you have Journal Entry due at 7:30.
