  • This requires not only knowledge that people have thoughts that are different from our own (basic Theory of Mind concepts) but that they also can narrate a story across time and/or sequence so the reader can follow and make reasonable conclusions to avoid confusion (this is called narrative language). They also have to recognize that people move from ideas (gestalt or main idea) to thoughts (details). To help the reader the writer has to organize his information so that he introduces his idea and then supports it with a reasonable set of thoughts (details).

      Big ideas are not enough by themselves - they need details in order that the reader can understand.
  • 1. Teach them how we brainstorm information related to the topic we are going to write about. Most 2nd grade students learn about "brainstorming" through the use of what are called, "graphic organizers". "visual organizers" or "mind maps". This lesson needs to be extended for our students and taught much more extensively.
  • 2. Learn to tell the difference between ideas or what we call in writing "main ideas" and how these are different from "details".
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 3. Work on pruning their thoughts they brainstorm by creating written outlines to serve as guidance for their work.4. For high school students, learn how to talk understand what an "opinion" is.
  • To motivate students to engage at this level of thinking and showing their thoughts by creating visual structures such as graphic organizers or visual outlines, we would provide them a grade for there production of these visual thinking supports. Thus, rather than receive a grade for the final written product, they would receive a grade for creating the graphic organizer and then the outline, etc.
  • By allowing them this time to work on thinking away from working producing written work allows all of us to re-focus and tune up the core skills of writing.

    "This is a map of the wheel-ruts of modern English. Etymologies are not definitions; they're explanations of what our words meant and how they sounded 600 or 2,000 years ago."

    Here are some word parts and practice exercises to use as part of vocabulary instruction. The first ones incorporate review of the previous words, because vocabulary should be assessed cumulatively (and because practice makes permanent :)).
