Writing Instruction Video Notes


In-Class writing instruction with Lucy Calkins

Notes:
-       Uses words like revision, which the student understood (leading me to believe these real world words are often used
-       Teacher talks through the students thought process with the student and repeats what she says in different ways.
-       Teacher keeps asking clarification questions, which the student explains easily.
o   “What are you going to do to make this even better?”
o   “Is there a part that’s confusing?”
-       This lesson is occurring in a comfortable setting where the student sits in a beanbag chair on the ground with the teacher.
-       Teacher reads the students’ story to the student and tells her to pretend like she’s never heard it and tries to pick out confusing parts of the story.
o   Student picks out the confusing part after being read to.          
§  Says “This is the confusing part. I should add more pages here.”
o   This process got the revision process going for the student
o   Helps the student begin to reorganize the story.
o   Tells the student to ask herself “Does this make sence?”
