The stoplight strategy would be my choice of incorporation within my class. I can see how breaking down the steps of writing would be beneficial for students, increase their understanding, and improve writing outcomes.]]> 2018-04-25 17:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaecoffey/kpsla5ung0r8/wish/255365755 Jillian Long https://padlet.com/amandaecoffey/kpsla5ung0r8/wish/256166973 As someone hoping to teach in a high school setting, I can definitely see myself using Step Up to Writing strategies as a means of building upon students' prior knowledge of the writing process. As mentioned in the webpage, graphic organizers can be helpful in organization of thought. I think that I will implement the use of graphic organizers to help students plan and outline papers. ]]> 2018-04-27 20:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaecoffey/kpsla5ung0r8/wish/256166973 Mackenzie Cronin https://padlet.com/amandaecoffey/kpsla5ung0r8/wish/256337985 I personally love Step Up to Writing strategies. I have not used the stoplight strategy in my room however I do use double-sided notes, breaking down definitions and the IVF strategy and I find them all very effective!]]> 2018-04-29 20:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaecoffey/kpsla5ung0r8/wish/256337985
