    Excellent ideas for mind mapping and brainstorming digitally. Several of the resources are for the iPad or iPhone I have used Popplet and Wallwisher several times in my classroom and both resources are popular with my students.

    This was originally shared by Ryan. Just reposted by me. :-)

    Ryan's original comment: This website contains several writing activities geared toward social studies, but they could be used with a variety of classes. They progress from easier to more difficult. I think some fit well with W2L, others not so much

    I defnitely believe that any sort of writing helps with handwriting skills, grammar even, and reading. I know, writing for me, I usually 'talk' differently in my writing than I do actually speaking. I have time to think about what I want to say, can look at it, and make changes if I think it's not right. Wish I could do that in real life! LOL

    The following write-to-learn activities have been excerpted from Writing Across the Curriculum's Resource Binder for participating faculty. Many of the activities listed are so common in composition theory and pedagogy that their original source cannot be traced.

    Provides Write-to-Learn activities from the Writing Across the Curriculum's Resource Binder. Its topics include: Free Writing and Focused Free Writing, Entry Slips/Exit Slips, Reader-Response Writing, The Sentence/Passage Springboard, Writing Definitions to Empower the Student, Student-Formulated Questions, The Short Summary, Group Writing Activities, Dialectical/Double Entry Notebooks, Microthemes, Answer the Question!, Clarification/Review Letters The section on Questions challenges students/teachers to write questions that "explore" rather than provide quick responses. The Sentence/Passage Springboard shows an example of a sentence from a literary text that is difficult to understand, and different people adding their interpretation of that passage as well as commenting on the previous person's interpretation.

    This website gives many examples of write to learn strategies.

    The main page has some basic information about W2L, similar to what we have been discussing, but at the end there are some suggested activities that look good. 
  • Alison Puls on 16 Sep 12
     
    This website provides an overview of some of the information from out text. It might be a great way to share some of the W2L strategies with colleagues without the book.

    This site is almost like a quick one-page reference tool for teachers who are looking to refresh some of the basic W2L strategies...the admit/exit slips are mentioned, among others. I would use this site if I needed a quick refresher of a strategy I needed or wanted to implement for a particular lesson.
  • Margie Steinberg on 27 Mar 12
     
    I would agree with Holly's comments. This site would be a good one to pass along to content area teachers that are looking for some strategies to work with formative, writing pieces they do with their students.

    Includes Muddiest Question (one most confusing), One Minute Papers (another name for exit/admit slips) and a nice list of tips at the bottom.
