This presentation by Alicia Smith and Stacey Wilson outlines effective practices for teaching writing as a process rather than a mere product. It introduces five key tenets that support writing development, including the importance of teachers being practitioners themselves and providing students with diverse audiences for their work. The document covers crucial stages of the writing process: prewriting, drafting, sharing, revising, and editing, while also highlighting the value of peer feedback and self-evaluation. Practical examples and strategies support the teaching of writing from kindergarten to 2nd grade.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. Teaching Writing as a Process By Alicia Smith Stacey Wilson

  2. This presentation was created by Alicia Smith and Stacey Wilson, Teacher Consultants, for the National Writing Project, as part of the 2014 Santee Wateree Writing Project.

  3. The 5 Tenets • Teachers of writing should, themselves, write so that they are in touch with their own writing abilities. • Students should experience audiences other than the teacher as assessor. Other audiences include self, peer, and teacher as a partner in learning • Peer response groups can lessen the load of correcting papers and yet ensure that the students get ample writing experiences and constant feedback. • Students should be involved in the evaluation process. • Teachers should stress the written product less and emphasize writing as a process more.

  4. The Writing Process • Prewriting: brainstorming • Writing: ideas take shape by putting words on paper. • Sharing: students gain a sense of audience • Responding: writers gain an understanding of what distinguishes effective from ineffective writing. • Revising: reworking • Editing: correctness • Evaluating: Feedback for the student writers

  5. Clustering • Clustering is a nonlinear brainstorming process that generates ideas, images, and feelings around a stimulus word until a pattern becomes discernible

  6. Cooperative WritingKindergarten-2nd Grade • Interpersonal skills • Students need many opportunities to listen and speak before they can become fluent readers and writers.

  7. Cooperative-Writing Lesson • Talking Trees • Objective: Students will develop interpersonal skills and language arts skill.

  8. Writing • Who are they writing to (audience) • Write for teacher • Writing for self

  9. Short Exercise Select a place where, right now you would rather be. (3 minutes) Skip a line and write a letter to your Mom, or some other loved one, in which you tell the person about this place (3 minutes) Write a letter to your principal or superintendent in which you request funds to subsidize you being in this place and which justifies the released time necessary for you to be there.(3 minutes)

  10. Sharing/Responding • www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jeo79

  11. Revising • There is no one correct way to revise • Rearranging, adding, rewording, removing

  12. Some things to focus on Fletcher states that we cannot force students to revise but here some things to look at: • Change the beginning • Change the ending • Add a section • Delete a part • Change the order (re-sequencing) • Change the tone • Change the point of view • Change the genre (65)

  13. Strategies for Revision • Building communities of writers • Inviting drafting and redrafting • Authorship • Publishing

  14. Editing • Grammar • Punctuation • Spelling • Usage

  15. Choose an Editing Routine • Share the responsibility of editing • Create a checklist (3 or 4 skills) for students to check off the skill and also the teacher (Fletcher, 94) • Can also be done in small groups or individual conferences

  16. Evaluation • Rubrics- don’t always have to use them as long as students know what you are looking for • Don’t focus on everything, narrow it down • Help students evaluate themselves whenever possible

  17. Evaluative Questions • Can you tell me about something you did well in this piece of writing? • How does this piece compare to others you have written? • Is there something you are proud of about doing here? • Is there any place you are less that fully pleased with? (Fletcher, 106)

  18. Possible Areas of Focus for Evaluating • Quality of writing • Correctness of Conventions • Use a variety of composing and revising strategies • Participation in the workshop

  19. Overlap between workshop and testing Both -Generate ideas on topic -Use supporting details -Reread for meaning -Stay focused on topic -Proofread for errors Writing Workshop -Choice of topic -No length requirement -Conference with peers or teacher PASS Test -Assigned prompt -Length requirement - No input from teacher or peers Fletcher, 110
