I went back to organize my notes into sections for each step of the writing process and plan how to lay out my storyboard before sitting down to type.]]> 2019-01-25 21:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324506988 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507074 In my 5th grade placement, I witnessed the students working on a social studies project where they needed to write about the various acts leading to the American Revolution.  They worked in groups to do online and book research, bulleting ideas about their act before starting their writing.  ]]> 2019-01-25 21:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507074 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507128 Writers get their initial ideas out without worrying with grammar conventions.  Writers double space and mark their work as "draft"
Writers craft leads / opening sentences]]> 2019-01-25 21:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507128 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507412 I do still draft in my current life daily, although not as formally as I once did in school. It's very common for me to sit at the computer to type out first thoughts, then re-read to begin my revisions and edits. Rarely is my rough draft saved! ]]> 2019-01-25 21:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507412 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507443 I volunteered often in writing time in my daughter's second grade class. The students strictly adhered to the writing process and always wrote their first draft on double spaced paper. They clearly marked the top of the paper with "draft". They even kept this paper to show parents with their final publication so they could explain the whole process and show how far they had come. ]]> 2019-01-25 21:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507443 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507554 Writers clarify and refine their ideas:
Re-read rough draft and make changes to help convey ideas and meaning
Participate in Revising groups with peers
Participate in Revising Centers for additional help with writing concepts being taught
Make revisions (add, substitute, delete or move text)]]> 2019-01-25 21:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324507554 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521515 I make revisions to almost everything I write. It's usually very seamless as I type everything, so changing words, cutting and pasting location, and deleting is very easy. ]]> 2019-01-25 22:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521515 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521558 In my 5th grade placement, the class participated in a peer reviewing process for an essay they were writing about the rainforest. First, the teacher assigned partners. The writer read their work to their partner. The partner then offered a couple "stars", or compliments. They also marked triangles for a change they would suggest. The student then took their work back to their seat to make changes to their essay. ]]> 2019-01-25 22:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521558 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521589 Writers focus on writing conventions:
Take a break before re-reading for errors
Proofread to find spelling, punctuation and other grammatical errors 
Use proofreading marks
Editing Centers can individualize instruction to focus on one type of editing
Correct errors found (may use dictionary and teacher help)]]> 2019-01-25 22:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521589 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521856 My brother has his master's in Journalism and worked as a copy editor for several years. I am always extremely careful of my grammar when writing to him! This was also a big focus for many of my high school English teachers, so it became something I was always careful about. Today, grammarly helps me out on my computer! ]]> 2019-01-25 22:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521856 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521880 In my 5th grade placement class, they used the same peer review process for editing as they did for revising. They used editing marks that were projected on the board as a reminder. They utilized dictionaries to fix spelling mistakes. ]]> 2019-01-25 22:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521880 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521939 Writers share their work:
Make and bind books
Author's chair sharing
Sharing helps motivate and encourage writers]]> 2019-01-25 22:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324521939 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324522078 One of my favorite memories from elementary school was publishing my writing. Our school set up a publishing center where we could provide a story and pay a small fee to have it published as a hardback book (cardboard covered in contact paper and pages glued in). I was so proud to share my published works with friends and family!]]> 2019-01-25 22:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324522078 ldcavola https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324522110 Last year my youngest daughter was in second grade and I attended several "publishing parties" for her class. Each time the class finished a unit, they used various methods to present their publications to families. They used an author's chair to read first. Next they created published books from construction paper and invited families to walk around and see the published works. Next they used technology to present themselves reading their finished works with SeeSaw recording. ]]> 2019-01-25 22:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ldcavola/writingprocessstoryboard/wish/324522110
