Passionate about writing
I think that this course has increased my passions about writing. It has helped me to see the importance of writing in the classroom, as well as the importance of writing in my own life. I have always leaned toward writing and journaling as a hobby, but I feel like I now have an even greater knowledge of different types of writing I can use to express myself. Beth, the passion that you express as you teach and share about writing has really motivated me to dig deeper. I really love the many ways we have learned to use writing to express our thoughts and feelings.
I have also loved learning about the many different writing resources that can be used in our classrooms. I have learned so many ways that writing really effects students learning. I have learned how writing can empower. Most importantly, I have learned how to engross each and every student in meaningful writing. I think that since my passion has grown for writing, I will be able to more effectively teach it. I will make writing workshop a consistent element of my classroom. i also think that home journals are a great way to interact with the students families and am strongly considering using that idea to make my classroom more of a community. The students in my class will see themselves as writers, and I will make sure they know that their writing is wonderful! They will hopefully constantly want to write more, learn more, and express themselves in many ways!
I can't wait to be able to implement a writing workshop in my classroom, because it is something I have never really seen in actions. I know it can be done and I can't wait to see how my students respond to it's surprising uniqueness.
