THis is AWESOME! WHat I love about it is the use of digital literacy. I think it's a great example of the kind of stuff that we could be teaching kids how to do to share the information they learn. WIth regard to teaching reading and writing, I see possibilities for teaching point of view and subtle persuasion. Lots of potential. Very powerful. How's that for a new kind of report? It requires analysis and synthesis of information. That's what we need to be teaching kids!

Interesting...I wish it were longer. This would be good for part of a morning meeting or when they write about their favorite and least favorite color. I wonder if there is more research on the origin of names,,,

EDUCATION and TEACHING Two Writing Teachers Writing Writers Wkshp Teaching Writing New Teachers

shared by Stephanie Griffin on 30 Jul 10 - Cached

As writing teachers, we need to put words on paper. It gives a deeper insight into how to teach writing well.

Teach one thing.

Cancel
constantly modeling

High fives, thumbs up, and verbal encouragement were as much a part of his time as anything else.
...

Cancel
Adjust to different personalities.

Cancel
Nate would take one person to the other end of the pool while everyone else was able to practice in the shallow end.
...

Cancel
Nate smiled a lot.
...

Cancel
Smiling goes a long way and we should do this more when teaching writing.
...

Cancel
When kids did something they weren’t suppose to, they paid the consequence. He made his explanations clear and the consequence for crossing a boundary evident up front.
...

Cancel
Give challenges.
...

Cancel
Since Nate is a swimmer himself, he is able to constantly push each person to become stronger.
...

Cancel
Give a small amount of whole group instruction and a lot of time for practice. His instruction with the whole group was a matter of minutes. Then he watched them all attempt the teaching point. Then he would call them together and refine his instruction. He never “instructed” for more than a few minutes at a time. He knows learning happens by doing.
...

Cancel
Teach the big things first.
...

Cancel
He made his teaching important by focusing on the things that would make the biggest difference.
...

Cancel
Ignore the mess. Learning something new can be messy. Nate ignored the mess. Instead he focused on encouragement and teaching one thing. As a writing teacher I need to ignore the mess a little more.
...

Cancel
End with fun. 
...

Cancel
Give a reminder at the very end. As they were drying off, he would say to each person, “Now what are you going to think about until you come back?” He would give one reminder. The really big thing he expected of each person.
...

Cancel
Celebrate BIG from time to time.

At the end of all the lessons, we had a pool party.

OMG--is this for real? Save the picture book. I can't believe the mom from San Antonio. Does she really wonder why her six year old is "reluctant?" This is mind boggling. What is our test culture doing to reading?

That article was very upsetting! Last year in third grade, I had a parent who saw that their child's book box contained both chapter books and picture books. She was appalled by the picture books and told her child she needed to put them back. Parents need to be more educated on the amazing benefits of pictures, such as the vocabulary, mental images, etc. It is absolutely absurd for a 5 year to be reading chapter books!! Give them something to build up to. Is this all from the testing? Very sad if it is...
