The mentor text should be printed so that the students have a model to fall back on when writing.]]> 2019-02-08 07:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329089623 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329091847 having a good mentor text,

2) Teachers to model aloud the writing process (struggles included) to the students.
3)Compare model texts with lower quality texts to continuously improve previous versions of draft.

2) To ensure that students have enough varied opportunities to write is to make writing an expectation in every class across the curriculum.
3)Effective writing should be organized, well-developed, audience-aware, free of mechanical and grammatical errors.]]> 2019-02-08 07:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329092584 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329093632 2. Writing is a transaction. Reading pupils' work as individuals rather than a dehumanized digit in a population provides them with a voice in their writing.

3. Writing is a process, and we can scaffold that process by providing good models of writing.]]> 2019-02-08 08:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329093632 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329096247 1. Building a rich reading life or culture allows one to have visual clues about how sentences should look and ultimately leads them to become better writers

2. Allowing pupils to write about what they like or something they have prior experience about enables them to build confidence in writing

3. Modelling writing and thinking aloud as I clarify and tune my sentence structuring and phrasing is very powerful in the teaching of writing

We should provide opportunities for students to write freely so that they enjoy writing. Teaching them writing in a structural way to prepare them for exam only, kills their interest and creativity in writing. 

2. We shouldn't provide students chunks of beautiful phases to use in writing and get them to memorise them. We should teach them the function of grammar items in context and how to apply them. With this skill, students can compose many beautiful sentences on their own. 

3. We can provide students with model writings and get them to analyze the goodness of the texts so that they can emulate them in their own writing. ]]> 2019-02-08 08:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329098159 lee_jie_yin_mitchelle https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329104939 1) Using of a well written model writing and emulate it by paying close attention to structure so that we can learn from it.
2)Teaching students what to look out for in model texts.

(2) Writing should be taught, by providing structures, themes, etc. or even reading model writings and highlighting the good points of it so that students may model after it.

(3) Students should be provided with timely feedback on their writing and be given opportunities to revise and correct.]]> 2019-02-08 09:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329117357 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329447096 Idea 1: Understand the problem and  teach pupils how to write with confidence .
Idea 2: Provide pupils opportunity to write about something that they love/ like to inculcate the love of writing. From there, they will eventually want to write, using more structured way so that their piece of writing become more enjoyable for anyone who is reading it. ]]> 2019-02-09 02:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329447096 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329548940 1) Reading and writing units need to be integrated.

2) Students need to write frequently across the curriculum to grow their writing skills.

3) Individual feedback that is helpful for a student's improvement focuses on a single aspect of his/her writing.

We should allow room for mistakes and not restrict our students with a set of rules for writing.  Only when they feel safe to make mistakes will growth take place. 

2.  Our students  should be trusted to use their own knowledge and abilities to discover and develop ideas instead of teachers telling them what to write in order to prepare for a test or exam.

3.  We infuse possibility into our writing classroom when we provide a choice of topic and approach, expose students to  various genres and styles, and connect assignments to current obsessions and concerns]]> 2019-02-10 06:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329563645 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329602028 1) Teachers need to build a habit for young writers to have a desire to  read widely to have a constant visual clue about the look of sentences where the use of punctuation can create rhythm. Recommending a genre of books that match the ability and interest of students can spur them to read more.

2) Young writers often become dependent on teacher guidance for their writing because of fear / worry that they commit grammar / spelling error. Confidence building can start by guiding students to listen to their writing through ungraded practice.

3) Sentence study, imitating interesting sentences while noticing how the punctuation works in a sentence and using it to craft their own sentence can be used as a guide for building students' confidence when writing.]]> 2019-02-10 14:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329602028 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329675182 1)a skill that can be learnt
2) a way to ignite passion - students should be given some freedom to decide what to write
3) NOT something meant for test preparation only

3) Students can be shown a comparison text so that they can compare & explain the differences between a good piece & something that needs some work.

3) Students need opportunities to write freely, & then re-read, listen to their writing. (ungraded practice & revision)

2) Time has to be invested in providing individual feedback that is goal-referenced, tangible & transparent, actionable, user-friendly, timely & ongoing. 
3) Teachers should TEACH the features of good writing (eg organised, well-developed, audience-aware, free of mechanical & grammatical errors)

2. Model texts can be taken from existing books/stories/poems.

In our context, MLEA, following SBA, comprises of shared experiences and these provide both the context and content for students to practise the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. 2) Writing is a humanizing process that connects writers and readers. We need to respond to the writer not the writing. Time and space must be provided for learners to experiment with adding details, revisions, sharing and evaluating. 3) Teaching writing starts with modeling. Discussions on what learners like about the writing allows them to become more conscientiously aware of the strengths and they can then emulate it in their own writing.]]> 2019-02-11 13:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/329834493 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/330175886 1) While it is good to give students many opportunities to write, it must be accompanied with explicit instructions on the moves good writers make as they compose.
2) Integrating reading and writing helps provide students with a substantive stimulus for their writing and also room for them to create their own understanding of the world.
3) Time should be invested in providing timely, thoughtful individual feedback to help writers grow in their writing skills and to learn to critique their own writing.

2) The importance of refocusing the purpose of writing to students. Students believe that the purpose of writing is to pass tests, and that may sometimes kills interest and creativity.
3) Writing is a skill that can be learned, both implicitly and explicitly.

Students need to be allowed to study mentor texts for a certain amount of time. They should not be allowed to refer to it only at the start of the writing process.
2. Students benefit from observing the process in which a mentor text is written. 
3. Comparing earlier and later drafts of writing is beneficial for students as they will be able to pick up differences and weaknesses. Students will then be able to work on these areas for improvements after they have become apparent. ]]> 2019-02-13 06:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/330681779 https://padlet.com/elispedteam03/acsrrv2lunqr/wish/330764261 1) Students need to have the opportunities to write frequently in order to become competent at it over time.

2) It is important to provide students with feedback about their writing as it not only hones their skills but also their thinking.
