It takes the pressure off of kids a bit. vanreess https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220795203 2018-01-11 21:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220795203 the side-by-side writing works! I've seen it and what a change it makes in a kid's desire to change his writing. vanreess https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796444 2018-01-11 21:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796444 Sentence branching is my favorite idea. I talk about this a lot but never had a name for it or a way of teaching it. STAR is also a wonderful technique. Excellent ideas for eliminating "be" verbs as well as "said" and "dead" words. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796610 2018-01-11 21:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796610 I like the way he starts with a simple task and has them describe it. He then builds on this sentence over the week doing brief mini-lessons to simply improve that one sentence. Not so much that the kids get overwhelmed. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796851

]]> 2018-01-11 21:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796851 I like that each strategy is not overwhelming and doable for all levels. For example, write the same sentence 5 different ways. This could be a daily warm-up. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796980 2018-01-11 21:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220796980 Like the acronym STAR. Would love to have a copy of this chart to incorporate https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220797147

]]> 2018-01-11 21:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/220798760 Good idea to compose in front of students https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221773770 2018-01-16 16:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221773770 Real-world, party time, Excellent [cue guitar riff] mullinsb https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221773856 We should have students practice real-world writing (Amazon reviews, appeals to legislators) rather than non-stop literary analysis. We also need more models. Writing in front of the kids and letting them see you screw up is essential to their development because then they will understand that it doesn't magically happen and that they too can write.]]> 2018-01-16 16:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221773856 Real world writing https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221774039 I like the idea of focusing on real world writing. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221774039 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221775811 If we want to produce better writers we need to model writing for the students and provide real-world assignments, rather than prescribed writing]]> 2018-01-16 16:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221775811 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221775841 Modeling is extremely vital for student growth in writing. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221775841 Modeling Writing https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221775916 Students need to see us composing, and it's actually more valuable if they see us struggle.]]> 2018-01-16 16:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221775916 Model https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221776068 We should be modeling writing for our students

I'm wondering if other content areas know this! https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221776790 2018-01-16 16:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221776790 students need models for writing. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777188 2018-01-16 16:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777188 Kids need to learn real world writing purposes. Teachers should model writing. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777236 2018-01-16 16:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777236 Writing that is required in the real world is necessary, as is modeling. Don't be afraid to make mistakes! https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777317

]]> 2018-01-16 16:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777317 Writing Next is a study about writing and kids. Yesterrday's Wash Post had a jay Mathews article about writing and what students need. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777447 2018-01-16 16:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221777447 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221779841 The idea of moving students past surface level editing with the sentence branches seems like a much more engaging way to have the students edit their work. Again, using yourself as the model seems to be the key to success of this process. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221779841 The "Pimp My Ride" revision technique, with the "STAR" revision points would be very helpful for students. His introductory sentence activity would be easy to incorporate for a week of warm-ups/mini lessons. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781534 2018-01-16 16:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781534 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781544 Focused teacher modeling. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781544 Deep revision https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781644 I like the idea of having students cut up their first draft and rearranging the paragraphs. This physical act of cutting up their draft sends the message home that their draft is just that - a draft. It’s not finished. Perhaps they will question more if they do this step. 
On google docs, you can use Sentence Separator to have them do the same thing with sentences ]]> 2018-01-16 16:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781644 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781662 The idea of two types of revision(Surface&Deep) will benefit the students. I think completing one as a whole group would be beneficial before they do it on their own. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781662 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781691 I enjoyed the Pimp my Write section to help make an essay better through using the STAR technique. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781691 The "question flood" is what I, as the teacher, do on their papers. What is left unanswered Having students do this seems more beneficial. Peer editing could be only this question flood. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781699 2018-01-16 16:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781699 STAR mullinsb https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781792 I liked the STAR method because it provides a memorable means for revision. Students will be able to look at their writing more deliberately because he is right, students do not like writing a piece more than once.]]> 2018-01-16 16:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221781792 Will try STAR method. https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221782138 2018-01-16 16:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221782138 The importance of revision https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221782610 Strategies for editing and revision. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221782610 Drafting https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221783121 1st drafts get credit, not grades]]> 2018-01-16 16:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/221783121 https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/250761937 Modeling is always a good idea.]]> 2018-04-11 15:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vanreess/tar/wish/250761937
