Week 8

1. Having an affective writing program is very important and crucial to the students learning. The important components of a good writing program are personal connections, conventions, and inventions. 2. I think it is important to block out time periods for the students to have to do their writing assignments and also some personal writings of their own. I would make sure if there was any down time that the students were writing in their journals. 3. You can have the students write about their own personal experiences that have related directly to the subject. If they have been through the same thing then they can discuss that in their writing. 4. Through students work you can find the most common mistakes your students are making and then implement lessons and tools for the students to use to correct these writing errors. You can also see which students are understanding and comprehending assignments and reading and those who are not. 5. When you do any type of creative writing or personal writings I think is the best time that you promote student inventions and experimentation. Also I think that once you have your students confident in their writing skills that this will allow them to be a little bit more risky with their writing and they will really be ale to use their abilities to their fullest potential.
