You are to write a paragraph on your experiences so far in the Teacher Education Program at Ottawa U.
Be prepared to share this with your colleagues and to have it posted on the walls of the classroom.
Remember your use of conventions must be accurate.

The interconnectedness of reading and writing is profound and inescapable…
Fountas and Pinnell, 2001
Since both reading and writing focus on meaning, development in one reinforces progress in the other: students learn to read and write better when the two processes are linked.
A Guide to Effective Instruction in Writing K-3
![Page 7: PED 1140 F Oct. 19,2011 Writing 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681645d550346895dd6301a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Consider this:• If I am to understand how to organise my ideas I need to see how
other authors organise theirs. • If I am to understand what makes a good idea for a piece of writing
I need to explore where other authors get their ideas from.• If I am to suit my word choice and sentence fluency to my purpose
and audience, I need to understand how other authors do that.• If I am to use conventions appropriately and accurately I need to
see them used effectively by other authors.
In other words, in order to become an effective, proficient author I need to read and deconstruct the work of effective proficient authors.

“When writing, students think about their purpose and their audience, and then draw on their knowledge of the text forms that, as readers, they have seen used effectively for this kind of purpose and audience.”
Literacy For Learning, The Report of the Expert Panel on Literacy in Grades 4 to 6 in
Ontario, 2005, p. 82
![Page 10: PED 1140 F Oct. 19,2011 Writing 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681645d550346895dd6301a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
That means we NEVER ask a student to write in a text form that we have not explicitly taught.
AND we must present students with authentic writing tasks – a real purpose and audience
![Page 11: PED 1140 F Oct. 19,2011 Writing 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681645d550346895dd6301a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2mins.
1. With your table partners pick a grade
2. check the suggested text forms for that
grade
3. brainstorm as many authentic tasks as you
can that might match those text forms...

Writing process:
• Brainstorm and gather ideas/research• Plan and organise your ideas• Write a first draft• Revise for style and content• Rewrite• Revise again• Proofread and edit for conventions• Publish

Check out the curriculum...
Choose a grade, where can you find the writing process outlined?
How do the expectations change between grades?
Why is it important that students learn to follow a process – and do they have to follow it for every piece of writing?
![Page 15: PED 1140 F Oct. 19,2011 Writing 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681645d550346895dd6301a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Explicitly teaching the skills and strategies of reading and writing.
Staying on focus: if I am reading explanatory text, then I must teach how to write explanatory text and not wander off into narrative ‘because my students love stories’.
Teaching writing means:
![Page 16: PED 1140 F Oct. 19,2011 Writing 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681645d550346895dd6301a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
You are teaching:
Specific text structure PLUS:
Organization of idea How to brainstorm
Voice draft
Word Choice revise
Sentence Fluency edit
Grammar and Spelling publish

Hmmm...
Word Choice... How could I teach that?

“Decades of research (Langer & Arlington, 1992) have made it clear that, if the goalof … instruction is to improve writing, instruction must take place in the context of real writing … We have far more children who know how to spell and punctuate than know how to write thoughtfully and precisely. There is no shortcut to good writing.”
(Cunningham and Allington, 2003, p. 133)

You learn to write BY writing...
Every day – ‘quick writes’
To master the text form being explored through the instructional focus of the class
To explore self-directed topics of importance

Next question:How do we assess writing?
If it’s not too much trouble may I ask a question? Well,you said they have to write allthe time, which means a lot of writing, and I need to eat and sleep sometimes, and mark math and
stuff, so, ummm how do I mark everything they
write?
![Page 27: PED 1140 F Oct. 19,2011 Writing 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681645d550346895dd6301a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
It depends on your purpose...
WHY are you assessing the writing?
Are you assessing FOR learning
AS learningOr OF the learning – ie evaluating?

“… Remember that students need to spend most of their time writing independently.If they are to become excellent writers they have to spend most of a writing lessoncomposing continuous text, not participating in lessons and activities about writing.”
