-Build writing instruction into the curriculum, not just modeling an example, but how to find important phrases in the example and in their own writing (deliberate practice)
-"2 most important phases of the writing process are planning and revising"
-Curriculum drives the rigor of the writing

In working with other writing programs, the structure of a method with a visual format albeit a Cornell note, traditional outline, or color coded grammar graphic work to reach both Sped students as well as Gened kids

The students seem to benefit from a visual prompt of sentence starters, transition words and phrases, and an understanding of grammar basics.

I am unfamiliar with the existing school writing programs, however, I do believe that in ESOL instruction grammar is explicitly taught and instruction is delivered within content.

The students were sincere and honest about how difficult it is to write when they don't have a baseline foundation for their writing. The structure of the program gave them a launching point

Students found the strategy/lesson very useful.

It is always helpful to get honest feedback from students.  Sometimes after a lesson my students will tell me the strategy was very useful.

The students in the video seem very much like our own. I know my students would be excited to follow a program that gives them this much confidence.

Our students are reflected in this video because I am sure many of them feel as though they are not strong writers.

Our writing programs may allow students to gain more confidence when it comes to their writing. By encouraging all students to write often and receive feedback, their writing should improve over time.

I think the fact that the girl got very emotional about how the program helped her is reflected in our students...even when they don't show us or don't seem like it they feel frustrated by what they see as their inabilities, and they want to take pride in their writing.

I teach ESOL students who likely struggle with organizational issues in writing. Providing students with a systematic method for writing will help build their confidence as writers and competence to communicate ideas.

The students in the video are the same as students anywhere. They felt like they couldn't write well, some felt as though they couldn't learn. They wanted the same success as all kids do; they want to feel smart. They want to know that they can leave school and go to college or get a job. They want to feel that they are competitive in the world. They all agreed that they needed literacy skills in order to attain that competitive status, and they all agreed that Hochmann provided it. Not teaching grammar directly, in a purposeful and integrated way to our students doesn't allow them to see how to apply the skills we teach. Hence, we don't want to teach it in isolation. But we can't just not teach grammar either, which many school districts attempted. We must find an integrated method that meets the needs of all of our students. Hochmann's method seems to do that.

How are our students' reflected in this video?  My heart for my students just melts every time I listen to this video. Our students are smart, but a number of them continue to  express their ideas with basic sentence structure and/or they do not organize their ideas in paragraphs. I sensed the hope and confidence that students, who looked very much like our PMMS students, gleaned from a consistent program
