      Good points to remember
  • On 3×5 note cards, students write a quick response to a question you pose at some point during class. The question might be on the previous night’s reading, or it might ask students to link two recent lecture topics. You might post the question on the board for students who arrive early and want an extra few minutes to consider and write.

      Exit slip
  • At the end of the class, pose a minute-write question about the day’s material. If students seem to be confused, you know immediately and can send a clarifying email or begin the next class addressing the issue.
  • After collecting the cards, you can quickly review a few before launching the day’s lecture or activities to see how well students understand.
  • a microtheme of five minutes or so. Used mid-class, a micro-theme serves as a break between activities. After students write, usually on both sides of a large note card (5×8), they turn their responses in, or trade them with a classmate in a think-pair-share activity

      This would be very non-threatening. You could really reach more students this way and clear up any questions right away.

    This is a word to text site that may assist those students with access to technology who have a hard time getting thoughts down on paper. Google Chrome is required. If interested in this, http://ctrlq.org/dictation/ is another option.

  • By working in groups, students learn from each other

      Many times, my students and I write together. Not only because they are emerging writers and need support, but because it is the an easier way to learn for the majority of my students. Not many of my 5 and 6 year olds can write independently and need a lot of modeling. I have found that sometimes their best teacher is their peers. They spend a lot of time immitating what they see, wanting to have or do the same thing as their friends, so why not incorporate that idea into their learning of academics?

    Ryan's original comment: This article supports W2L and gives some basic examples and suggestions. The one part that really jumped out at me was the last paragraph-W2L is a way to help students practice thinking, which is something I hadn't thought about.

      Many of these strategies we have covered in our readings but I liked this question that it asks. I have said before, that when I write, I have time to think about what I'm saying and decide if it sounds right. I can make changes, too.

    Since I use discussion a lot with my students I thought this was a good idea to refocus. It could be tied in with an exit strategy to find out what students thought the main focus of the discussion really was supposed to be.

    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
  • Leigh Sell on 18 Mar 12
     
    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

    While we have already learned many strategies, this web page gives us a 4 step instructional process for teaching these strategies. It also gives a video example how to complete each step.
  • Heather Gould on 18 Mar 12
     
    This is a nice site, Holly. The highlighted steps would make a nice handout for this course -- I can see how it might be helpful to keep it handy as a constant reminder not to rush when implementing new strategies.

It gives you examples on how a student could submit work if they are having a hard time expressing themselves, spelling, writing legibly,or reading. Lots of examples!!

    In reference to a comment below regarding Magnet Summaries, there are a lot of really good summarizing strategies out there that would be Writing to Learn. This link to our AEA 267 ELA Website has a page devoted to summaries. Within the page you'll notice a few strategies are shared, and there is also a reference to the following book: Summarization in Any Subject: 50 Techniques to Improve Student Learning by Rick Wormeli. It is an awesome resource available through AEA 267's lending library.

    This is a great idea for helping those students who struggle with writing because they can't think of what to write. In addition, the connective words (i.e. first, then, next) provided in the writing frames help students understand how to use words to transition from one idea to the next. The article provides the steps to create a writing frame as well as elementary and secondary examples of opinion writing frames and compare-contrast writing frames.
