Hello, their fellow bloggers, in LIT 102 class this week one of our focuses was on the writing process, a session that shocked me into consciousness for it seems all my life in school as a student and now as a teacher trainee I was missing key details. working with students with disabilities the focus has always been on preparing them to function in society as independent as possible so the basic of skills was focused on that would cater to that independence.
The writing process stood out to me in that there are five key stages that aid in helping me focus, plan, and write. Prewriting, and drafting. revising, editing, and publishing. what is noteworthy is the overlapping that might take place and the back and forth between the stages making the process recursive rather than linear. The way Mrs. L thoroughly explained the writing process got me excited as I began to understand and implement the steps in my writing it will provide a solid foundation for me and my students as I engage in developing a love for writing which will turn produce well-constructed and refined written pieces as well as in my students once the steps are introduced with hard work and constant practice.
I am looking forward to putting into practice what I learned both in my life and with my students.
until next time Arrivederci 😁😄✌
Hi Malanda
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that you are planning to use The Writing Process. Since you are in Special Education School, you can simplify the Writing Process to cater to your students' abilities. The Writing Process can be adapted or tailored to cater to all students. Do not be frightened to try it. When you do, please share your experiences. You can start with simple sentences and then paragraphs. You can show the videos and instructional charts to refer to.
thank you Lisia for the feedback, the skipping a line is a great idea that i will definitely implement when i undertake the task, however i believe that i can encourage my collegaues to try the process to get the students writing.
ReplyDeletemost definitely, get everyone involved.
DeleteHey Maurisa, thanks for popping in. As you mentioned the writing process can be tailored to my students abilities it brought me back to that aspect of all about books, where the students draw. maybe i can use that also in teaching the writing process. thank you so much for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteMaurisa, your suggestions on ways to tailor the lesson for special needs kids were spot on, I would also add that myself and Miss Noel also incorporate paragraph frames for the struggling writers and early preload on topics of interest. I believe this will help tremendously to building their vocabulary and familiarity with the words, so that they are more prepared to make a strong start at writing.
