I would like to START offering multiple graphic organizers for students to choose from to organize their writing, including visuals more often.

I would like to STOP using the district provided pacing guide for writing, and STOP trying to use a one-size-fits-all approach to end products.

Continue to use rubrics and continue to build student familiarity with rubric(s) & their language for self-evaluation

Being better about reviewing rubrics prior to starting the assignment so that students are clear about what is expected of them.

I would love to set intentions for writing form the beginning of the year and check in by trimester to see how things are going.

Writing in Music

2024-11-13 22:43:26 UTC

I would like to read the stories about musicians and use it as a way to have students share their own musical journeys.

I want to continue to meet with my students one-on-one to build writing conventions and mechanics.

One on one writing conferences to help edit/revise/listen/provide feedback

I would like to continue writing with my students. I need to give up something to give more attention to writing. I will make copies of beg/approaching/at level student samples for next year!

Teaching grammar in isolation

2024-11-13 22:44:19 UTC

I would like to start using rubrics and beginning the year off strong with my writing. I feel like since I haven’t had access to a strong writing curriculum, and therefore haven’t felt confident with my writing instruction, I haven’t been attacking writing in my classroom the way I want.

Using group collaboration and providing lots more guided talk time

I would love to set a time frame with intentions at the beginning of all writing units.

I will stop teaching without context, answering the why.

Music in writing
