Hello,
- 00:01 - 00:04
my name is Katie Cody and today I will be discussing
- 00:04 - 00:08
my synthesis project for my language literacy and acquisition class.
- 00:08 - 00:10
I will be explaining the different things I've
- 00:10 - 00:13
learned in this course regarding writing and the
- 00:13 - 00:17
ways in which I have taught these aspects to my case study student and some examples
- 00:18 - 00:21
as you can see I have four components are in
- 00:21 - 00:23
balanced literacy traits of writing
- 00:23 - 00:27
the stages of the writing process and writers workshop all four of these components
- 00:27 - 00:29
relate to one another as they are
- 00:29 - 00:32
all necessary when building Children's writing skills.
- 00:32 - 00:35
First we'll be discussing balanced literacy,
- 00:37 - 00:40
balanced literacy is composed of three main topics.
- 00:41 - 00:44
Interactive writing, shared writing. An independent writing
- 00:44 - 00:46
interactive writing is where the teacher and
- 00:46 - 00:48
student work together to choose a topic.
- 00:48 - 00:52
They even share a pen. Sometimes they work together to create the writing.
- 00:52 - 00:55
Shared writing is when the teacher model strategies,
- 00:55 - 00:58
teaches these strategies and helps the student understand the process.
- 00:58 - 01:02
Lastly there's independent writing which is when the child chooses they're very
- 01:02 - 01:06
on topic and practices their skills independently and rights by themselves.
- 01:08 - 01:12
An example of shared writing comes with my case study student Soraya
- 01:12 - 01:14
we did a lot of shared writing together.
- 01:14 - 01:17
I would implement strategies and bring in engaging mentor
- 01:17 - 01:20
text to help her understand the writing process better.
- 01:20 - 01:24
I would model for her certain aspects of writing for example let's say
- 01:24 - 01:27
conventions and then she would make those changes in her very own writing.
- 01:27 - 01:30
It was so much fun being able to do this with Soraya
- 01:32 - 01:37
Next we have the different traits of writing which includes ideas, organization,
- 01:37 - 01:41
voice, word choice, sentence fluency and convention.
- 01:41 - 01:43
These all tie back to what we just talked
- 01:43 - 01:46
about balanced literacy and shared writing because I would discuss
- 01:46 - 01:49
these traits with Soraya and model for her why these
- 01:49 - 01:50
traits are so important and how to use them.
- 01:51 - 01:52
For example with word choice,
- 01:52 - 01:56
I used to mentor text that had great examples of well thought out words,
- 01:56 - 01:59
I would point out in the book the spicy words you could say.
- 01:59 - 02:02
Then I would have her revise her paper by adding in more exciting
- 02:02 - 02:06
or descriptive words and I would check her ideas throughout the way.
- 02:08 - 02:12
Moving on to the next we have the writing process stages
- 02:13 - 02:16
which is where we implement some of these traits
- 02:16 - 02:18
I just discussed the stages are pre writing,
- 02:18 - 02:22
drafting, revising editing, publishing and sharing.
- 02:22 - 02:25
When I implemented a mini lesson on conventions,
- 02:25 - 02:27
I was in the editing stage of writing with my student,
- 02:27 - 02:31
I taught her about conventions such as capitalization and punctuation.
- 02:31 - 02:34
I read a mentor checks that had great examples of these conventions
- 02:34 - 02:35
and did a short activity.
- 02:35 - 02:38
She was able to edit her own writing and change
- 02:38 - 02:42
things to correct the punctuation and change capitalization errors.
- 02:42 - 02:44
It was wonderful seeing her understand the topic
- 02:44 - 02:46
and make her own writing even better.
- 02:47 - 02:48
Finally,
- 02:48 - 02:52
we have the writer's workshop which is when everything comes together
- 02:52 - 02:55
all these components I just talked about can be seen.
- 02:55 - 03:00
It's the most fun to this is one of many lesson occurs with the use of a mentor text.
- 03:00 - 03:03
Students have their own writing time and then finally sharing time
- 03:03 - 03:07
sharing time is once the story is completely published and ready to read aloud,
- 03:07 - 03:08
this was the best part of the class.
- 03:08 - 03:12
I love seeing Zariah share her story about her birthday with her classmates,
- 03:12 - 03:14
she was so proud and so was I.
- 03:14 - 03:17
She came so far writing this semester and I could see all
- 03:17 - 03:21
these things finally come together in her writing piece about her eighth birthday
- 03:23 - 03:24
to tie it all up.
- 03:24 - 03:28
As you can see, all these aspects come together to help students right,
- 03:28 - 03:31
balanced literacy traits of writing stages of
- 03:31 - 03:33
the writing process and writers workshop.
- 03:33 - 03:36
It's definitely a challenging task for young students to write.
- 03:36 - 03:39
But understanding these key components helps greatly thank you
- 03:39 - 03:41
so much for listening and I hope you enjoy
