debrennersmith: Writing and Reading Lessons - 0 views

  •  
    Great blog to follow for Kinder-2nd teachers esp for ELA "Teach the writer, not the writing. Teach the reader, not the reading. We have conversations with our students about their reading and writing to teach the child." "Deb is a literacy consultant and an author. She post writing lessons and reading lessons frequently."

Lego Just Got Told Off By A 7-Year-Old Girl - 0 views

  •  
    Love this! True, I agree with her, but this is just an awesome example of opinion writing with supported arguments (claims backed by evidence) by a 7 year old. -- Love that she is writing for a real purpose and audience! What real purpose could we have our students write for? And actually mail the letters (and publish on our blogs).

Writing Across the Curriculum - 2 views

  •  
    Fabulous resource for writing across the curriculum. Different types of writing for different content areas with concrete examples, templates, graphic organizers. It's also a great way to show how 3R informational text has different format and how to read it for comprehension.

Teachers can oversee each student's writing, comment, and edit. When all students have written their contributions the class reads the submissions and votes. The names of the writers aren't revealed until after the voting.

Mr. Salsich's Class - Grinding Cornmeal - 0 views

  •  
    If your curriculum includes Native American culture, this would be a relevant post to get students discussing prior knowledge, and writing their thoughts down as comments (or have them dictate what to write and do a whole group comment by modeling for them how to collect their ideas and form a comment/friendly letter).

Global Project- Teddy Bears Around the World in its 4th Year | Langwitches Blog - 2 views

  • For the forth year, Teddy Bears from around the world are contributing images about their travels, traditions and customs to this blog.
  • The idea is to collaboratively create a space with stories from different locations around the world. Students practice creative writing skills as they contribute stories from the bear’s perspective about their lives, surroundings and customs. I would like to expand having classes connect and interact with the stories of their teddies via more commenting. About the Project:
  • There is no need to send a Teddy Bear to another school or teacher. All you need to do in order to participate is to register via the Contact Form, integrate writing and documenting (via images, videos or audio) the adventures of your own class’ teddy bear.

    I'd love to see this turned into a mini PBL by adding a thought provoking Essential Question -- and have them focus on creativity, collaboration, literacy, fluency, and writing. Any ideas for an essential question?

Learning About Blogs FOR Your Students- Part I: Reading | Langwitches Blog - 1 views

  • When digging a little deeper he/she might recognize that blogging is more about WRITING than technology. But let’s roll blogging back even a little further and we will discover that blogging starts with READING!
  • Blogging is about writing, but it begins with reading. Teachers recognize that in order to teach about blogs, they have to read good blogs. Most want to jump immediately in and have their students start blogging, sit back and expect students to write quality blogs. It won’t happen. Teachers need to take time in reading other blogs, before they expect to be able to lead their students in quality blogging.
  • Start with your PASSION! Passion is what will make you read when you are too tired or have too many other things to do.
