-"Write-to-learn" - informal writing opportunities to give students a chance to free flow write without having to focus on conventions and formalities
-Intentional mistakes while writing as a group in order to provide an engaging way to learn spelling, grammar etc.
-Teach the value in mistakes!
-Use of word walls to support vocabulary and spelling

-More collaborative tasks to encourage discussions and support for ELLs by other students
-Low pressure situations to practice language skills
-Brainstorming webs for journal writing topics (from video - "what makes a good friend?")
-Model writing first, don't just give instructions (although I think this could go in the middle as well - it is good to model for all students!)
-Link background knowledge and culture to learning
-Free writing opportunities where students get to practice writing skills outside of a high-stakes scenario (not marked etc.)
- Three Truths and a Lie - An activity where students get to write about personal information using vocabulary they are comfortable with]]> 2020-07-30 23:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sburnel2/h1xcfpkhsfiw7eig/wish/666229691 sburnel2 https://padlet.com/sburnel2/h1xcfpkhsfiw7eig/wish/666249421 -Independent writing opportunities to practice formal conventions, grammar, spelling etc.
-Advanced writing opportunities (from video - Journal Assignment: What does it mean to choose your friends wisely?)
-Academic writing and subject-specific writing tasks
-Opportunities for editing, drafting and revising (good for all students, however I feel it may be intimidating for early stage ELLs)]]> 2020-07-31 00:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sburnel2/h1xcfpkhsfiw7eig/wish/666249421
