My Writing Philosophy
When you’re teaching kids to write you’re teaching them to think. Writing
is the window through which all thinking starts. Sheryl Brock. With this
students must be taught to write purposefully in order for them to become
independent thinker. To do this student must be taught how to write.
Writing is defined as any
piece of written work as writing, especially when you are bearing in mind the
style of language used in it. As start before when students learn to write they
learn to think. Writing is an essential skill to attain in the classroom. Writing
is the principal source upon which student’s work will be critique, learning
will be judged. Writing prepares our students with communication and thinking
skills. Writing allow us to visiblable see and interpret what our students are.
Due to the fact that writing
and thinking are complicatedly bound. Each and every time our students learn a
new way to think so they must learn to write in a new way. These “new ways” of
writing include both new thought practices and new ways and types of writing.
Students will be faced
with writing differently for each subject area and still maintain the creative
aspect of writing.
Our students need differentiated
instruction and taught the writing
process and trends constructive feedback
in order for our students to move from the different stages of writing Thus, learning to write work best when they are sequenced or
scaffolded, with larger conceptual responsibilities that is explained, and with adequate time to go through each process effectively.
We as teachers must not
see writing as the end result but see writing in itself the process of learning, and students require
instruction, feedback, and support throughout the whole writing process until
they are able to do so on their own.
With this wealth of
knowledge I plan on making my classroom writing friendly by: Bring Writing to life
when students have discovered different
types of writing such as plays, I will offer them further motivation by
producing some or all of those works. I will also put on a class play that the
students worked on together, or you can bring a video camera and let students
film mini movies, or even news broadcasts. Students will take pride in their
writing and will get excited to show off their creations to fellow students and
their parents. Students will be
encouraged to explore structured writing stimuluses have their place in and
around the classroom, but some students will
write once left to write in the way that best suits them.
Benjamin Franklin once
stated that we must ‘ either write something worth reading or do something
worth writing, this will be my mantra for my students. As I progress in becoming a purposeful writing
teacher. I aim to find more innovative ways to bring out the best writer in my
students.
Hello Renee, your philosophy for writing was an excellent read, i really have to say that i agree with you when you state that we as educators must provide differentiated instruction, in order to bring out the best within our students. I know you are as eager as i am to go to the classroom come January and make a difference.
ReplyDeleteHi, Renee. I totally agree as well with the differentiated instruction and teaching the writing process to students, once this is in progess, what is there to hold back students from writing. However, I can see your eagerness to go out and make a change with your bundle of knowledge and so am I.
