June 20th-Friday

Next year I think that my writing strategies will change. I plan to do much more low stakes writing to take away some of the stress and fear of writing. My students will be doing journal entries every day. This should help with their comfort level in the area of writing. My hope is that this will also help build their confidence.

I also liked many of the other suggestions of writing. I will be incorporating microthemes, some reading response activities, and the kernel paragraph activity. I think that my students will really enjoy doing the "museum" activity and write arounds.

I did journal writing with my class this year and it really did help with their comfort level. I also liked the ideas that were discussed yesterday and would use them in the classroom next year if I were going to be in there. Maybe I can find a way to use them anyway, who knows.
