Transcript of Writing Ppt Revised
Growing Young Writers
Kindergarten Writing Training
November 2011
Creating a Writing Community
• Topic choice
• Opportunities for students to read the kinds of books they want to write
• Provide demonstration, practice, teaching, and celebration during writer’s workshop
• Give a purpose and an audience for writing
• Teacher support
• Writing tools
• Time to think, talk, write, and share everyday
• Freedom to make mistakes
Creating a Writing Community
Creates Dependence • Teacher selects prompt
• Teacher keeps supplies
• Writing lasts as long as a writing period or a journal page
• Students resist making revisions
• Students brainstorm very few ideas on the topic
Fosters Independence • Students select a writing
topic
• Materials are easily accessible
• Students write the sounds they hear
• Students may work on the same piece for days
• Students are excited to share
Reading About Writing
Table Talk
• What kind of writing environment have you created in your classroom? Are students free to be creative and make mistakes? Are you fostering independence?
• What do you want to start doing in your classroom to create a positive writing environment?
Why is Drawing Important?
• It is the way beginning writers represent and understand meaning.
• It is a way for children to be heard.
• It develops language.
• Allows children to go deeper into their stories.
• Teaches children about the craft of writing.
• If drawing is an early stage of writing, then we should want our students to draw well just as we want them to write well.
Why Do Writers Draw First?
• Most children like to draw.
• Most children come to school already drawing.
• For young children, drawing is writing.
• It gives them opportunities to do what writers do.
Ways to Support Drawing
• Model
• Think aloud about drawing
• Use familiar shapes
• Teach through mini-lessons
• Point out illustrations in books
• Writers must inform their readers. Whatever you are writing, show you are the authority through your words and picture.
Ways to Support Drawing
• Create a drawing center filled with interesting materials.
• Have children bring in familiar objects to draw.
• Get to know something by doing it a lot – do a lot of the same drawings in different ways (faces)
• Provide time for drawing.
• Assess student’s drawings to determine what children need to make them better.
• Provide opportunities for them to make their work better.
• Celebrate
Ways to Support Drawing
• Draw about what they know
• Draw characters in a variety of ways (facing different directions)
• Include the tiniest details (a dog tag with the dog’s name on it)
• Reveal feelings (through facial expressions)
• Reveal the setting through one little detail (a spigot for a sink)
• Use the illustrations and the words to tell the story (they may tell different parts of the story)

Books That Teach Drawing
Writer’s Workshop
• 2-5 times a week
• Begins with a mini-lesson
• Most of the time is spent in independent writing
• Ends with sharing out
• The mini-lesson - 5 to 10 minutes
• The independent writing and conferencing - 20 to 30 minutes
• Sharing - 5 to 10 minutes
Writing Mini-Lessons
• Is the modeling and demonstration of a target skill
• Used to teach even the simplest skills - how to put away materials, etc.
• Used to target SE’s
• Include WFTB mini-lessons
Phases of a Mini-Lesson
• Engagement – students try what was taught (partner share or quick write), 1-5 minutes
• Link – link the skill to previous instruction, 1-2 minutes
• For example: “Today and everyday, remember to leave spaces between words.”
• Connection – Connect to previous learning, 1-2 minutes
• Teach – Define, model, and demonstrate the new skill, 3-10 minutes
• Provide models such as pictures or examples
Types of Mini-Lessons
• Foundational – assists with organization of a piece (choosing a topic, sequencing of thoughts, beginning, middle, and end, etc.)
• Craft – move writing beyond the basics (word choice)
• Operational – defines procedures such as transitioning to the carpet area, when to sharpen a pencil, how to give and receive feedback, etc.
• Print awareness – print conventions
Independent Writing and Conferencing
• Provide resources for students to use such as alphabet strips, portable word walls, word source rings, read alouds, etc.
• Where will materials be stored and how will students access them?
• The largest portion of writer’s workshop
• Start with 10 minutes and work up to 20 to 30. Build stamina just like in reading.
• Determine where students will write.
• Silent vs. quiet writing
Management Tips
• Color-coded folders
• 1 person picks up folders and 1 person returns them
• Materials are stored in folders and bins
• Different types of paper, markers, boo boo tape
• Teacher’s role

Sharing
• Questions help the author consider details.
• Allow 3 students to ask a question.
• Reminders help students make a connection to their own life.
• Allow 1 or 2 students to give a reminder.
• Author’s Chair
• Feedback
• Notices help the author recognize weaknesses in the piece.
• Allow 3 students to give a notice.
• For example “ I like the way you left spaces between your words. “
Table Talk
