Furthermore to expand on the classes I had taken before I had never learned how to write without just actually doing work and feeling enthusiastic about it. Most of the time we would learn about something or topic would be given. There would be

This entails working on the Seven Steps to Writing Success will be taught twice a week and writing tasks will also be included during literacy groups. Sizzling Starts and recounts will be the focus text in term one. Narrative and creative writing will be taught too and in both cases the emphasis will be on creating strong sentences with good structure. The lesson format for sizzling starts and narrative/creative writing will be explicit teaching to the whole class. My role as a teacher will be to identify the student’s level and provide appropriate feedback to support to move students toward the next level.

Each student takes a few minutes to think through an appropriate response on his or her own and then pairs with another student to share their responses. After putting their ideas together, they create a collaborative response to share with the class.

I was pleased by the interactions I overheard while the students were working on their warm-up problems. The students were able to articulate their thinking and use that thought process to make a decision. However, I would have liked the students to think deeper about the problem. The students were satisfied with their gut reactions and did not challenge themselves to consider how the other solution could be true.

That would have forced the students to reconsider their ideas in this new perspective and given them something more “controversial” to discuss and defend within their groups. Also, the students accepted the solution faster than I thought they would. While I still went over the solution as clearly as I could visually and auditorily, no students asked me follow up questions or expressed the confusion I was expecting.
