I already know that secondary literacy: writing development is strategic. It is dependent upon the educator to help strategically foster the writing abilities - the voice - that is already inside of the student.

Remember to write yourself! Give opportunity for them to write risk free, just to write to get ideas. The role syntactic development plays in writing. Everything tied to writing is a progression. Make sure to give students a choice to write not just tell them what to write! Don't have to grade everything let students just WRITE.

I wonder what will instill the love of writing in students.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the maturity of thinking plays a big role in writing. I never thought about writing from that perspective. The amount of reading also is a major contributor to good writing.

I would like to know some daily, engaging writing strategies to get students writing more.

# data[].attributes.body
Students need to write everyday. Short writings like quick writes in their writing journals. We need to model writing and use mentor text to help them see different structures of writing. Give them the freedom to choose their topic as much as possible.

There has to be motivation and a desire to say something. It is critical to have a strong culture of literacy keep developing readers motivated to develop as writers.

# data[].attributes.body
Teaching the function and purpose or writing can be very eye-opening for students. I really like the idea of collecting writings to use as quick writes to help motivate. I have thought about and utilized so many of these ideas and concepts. The biggest challenge has been protecting the time to write. I am hoping that the block schedule will help.

Immersion in reading and writing prompts- something the students enjoy will help the students improve in writing. Motivation is key. Encourage outside sources within the different papers not just in research topics

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about asking the why we have what we have. For instance why do we have paragraphs, why would we put a transition word here, why would this word stand out, why did the author organize the writing this way?

I have learned that I need to write as much as my students do, and that there needs to be more writing opportunities than just writing assignments that will be graded. Ample time for practice and exploration, with simple feedback, is necessary in order to help students get comfortable enough to write for an assignment I will grade.
