In my learning experience, I always "think" and "learn" by writing out connections and how they support or challenge existing knowledge or beliefs. I think, however, this quote must specify that writing can be informal and not a big serious thing.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068807 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068921 I don't really agree with this quote because many students, myself included, learn much better when actually doing something related to what was learned. In the Agriculture classroom, much of our learning is hands-on, and we have found that is a much more effective and more enjoyable way for students to learn our content area.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068921 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068927 Absolutely. Reading literature without writing or reflecting on it is like eating food without digestion. When it comes to English literacy, writing is essential.

While it isn't a popular opinion, I firmly believe that essay writing is heavily important with not only developing writing skills but also learning how to critically think and discuss an in-depth topic. Private journal entries also serve the same purpose but are more convenient due to their shorter page requirements. Instead of writing for page length, it might be interesting to experiment with writing time. Instead of writing a two page reflection, a 25 minute writing exercise could be better.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068927 samw99 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068932 I think this comment is especially true in my content area (history). In order to truly learn history, I think that students must practice writing and the inherent reading/analysis of learning materials involved in writing. Ultimately, in my opinion, that is what leads to meaningful learning in history. 
2. I hope to incorporate writing more into my class through the use of RTR journals. This will help stimulate reflection and hopefully improve students' writing fluency with practice.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156068932 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069154 I think writing is a great way to compile and organize your thoughts. In music, writing music/composing is one of our standards. When students compose music, they better understand the music they perform.

Writing in music: Reflecting on listening to music is a common exercise. The focus is generally on fluency.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069154 djordan41 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069183 I would say I definitely agree with this quote. I think that being able to write and write well about something enhances your ability to  connect with whatever the topic is. My content area is English so I think that I might be a little biased toward reading/writing as effective tools for learning, but even in math, it's more effective for a student to write down the problem and work through it than to simply just observe the teacher.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069183 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069314 This quote definitely is true for studying history! Writing gives the students the ability to better understand the material they are learning about. 

I really would like to use bell ringers at the start of class to see what my students already know about the topic we will be learning about.]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069314 taylor184 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069315 I agree with this wholeheartedly. Writing is so essential to learning especially within my field (History). Not only does it help students learn material better, but it is a way for them to connect to what they have read/been taught.

I would like to incorporate opportunities for my students to write narratives and more enjoyable forms of writing compared to the stricter format that more advanced writing follows. I'm not sure how it would work but I want my students to like writing in their free time as well (maybe extra credit?) ]]> 2021-02-02 21:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069324 gur1nder https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156069496 learning journal

I've done that for a couple of my college courses and it's really helped me to connect with the material differently than I had while reading it, especially after having a small class discussion on whatever our reading was for the day.]]> 2021-02-02 21:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156112483 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156113186 Bell Ringers to help get students focused in on what we are about to do and starting refreshing their memories about what they may remember- Ag]]> 2021-02-02 21:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/re8d7l1a96jmyk8p/wish/1156113186
