Writing in the library by Vanessa Smith https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp How writing as a core practice impacts library instruction en-us 2019-12-06 14:24:21 UTC 2019-12-07 03:38:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Modeling vksmith123 https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420750606 Modeling the ups and downs, obstacles, dead ends, narratives that go nowhere, characters that don't do what you want them to do shows students that everyone (including their teacher) face the same challenges when trying to take their thoughts and write them down (Daniels et al).]]> 2019-12-06 14:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420750606 Free writing vksmith123 https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420754622 Prior to beginning any research project, I want students to spend time jotting down what they already know about their subject or what questions they have, what they are curious about, why they chose it. Anything that might give them a sense of direction before beginning their inquiry (Beach, et al).]]> 2019-12-06 14:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420754622 Build in more time vksmith123 https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420761072 One of the advantages I have in the library is seeing students before and after class. I want to create research inquiry writing projects (like iSearch projects) and give them time to "sit" with their ideas before they commit to the topic. I can give them the gift of time to develop their ideas, and my additional help outside of our class time in the library (Daniels, et al).]]> 2019-12-06 14:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420761072 Inquiry space vksmith123 https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420763829 By increasing their inquiry space, allowing them to choose what they research, what they write about, I increase their level of buy-in and engagement (Litman & Greenleaf).]]> 2019-12-06 14:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420763829 Writing to learn activities vksmith123 https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420769013 There were so many suggestions in Daniels, et al of activities where students write in pairs or groups. I want to create collaborative Google docs in the library where students can share their thoughts on specific books. Trading knowledge + writing + collaboration = win (Daniels et al)]]> 2019-12-06 14:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/420769013 References vksmith123 https://padlet.com/vksmith123/cfqalucah8cp/wish/421125175 Beach, R., Campano, G., Borgmann, M., & Edmiston, B.
