July 12th Reflection

The first presentation made me think deeply about voice, and its place in my room. The idea that voice is present in other forms besides writing was one that I was aware of on some level, but it was helpful to see it used in context with writing. I think this will make for a good conversation/ tie in, in the classroom.

I also found a use for the 25 word story in my history class. I can see using a contextual picture as the motivation for writing, a subject related to history or a current event. I now have yet another writing to learn strategy for my toolbox!

  1. I was hoping everyone could see a use for the 25 word story. I think it can be used for a summary, as well as a way to connect to history lessons. Nice job on your demonstration.
