My thoughts for class today.
I believe the idea of migrating more toward concentrating on writing fluency rather than mechanics is what stands out most in my mind. I think that this is going to increase the amount of critical thinking our students do, because they are able to write about topics of interest and things they know without the stress of criticism. I believe this will build confidence in students and we will get to the mechanics after the students become fluent writers.

K teachers have the students write on items they know about.
I agree with your comment on writing fluency and critical thinking. Focusing less on mechanics would lead to higher level thinking. I would definitely like to see students respond more in writing using critical thinking in their academic topics/subjects.
