When I thought about shared writing I thought about the teacher in control of the pen while the kids helped come up with information for the story. Last year I had our literacy coach come in and demonstrate a shared writing with my third graders, I really don't feel like I am a great writing teacher still but I think that it helped. The kids loved coming up with a trickster tale with her and actually wanted to go write their own. The only problem that I have had is that it seems to take so long and I feel like I am taking away from them. Maybe I just need to break it into more chunks. I really liked the framework checklists that this chapter gives. I thought about typing some up and putting them behind the chart paper board and by my SMART board. I think that these would be handy references to look at while I am modeling or we are doing a shared writing.
I also found the framwork checklists helpful. I'm that type of OCD teacher that loves to have checklists and handy little reminders. :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to learn about SMARTboards. What do you see as the differences between doing shared writing on the SMARTboard and using chart paper? How do you decide which to use?
