    writing

    I came in to my current classroom the second week of October. The teachers who previously had them seemed to do a good job of getting them to write in journals. In the morning I put a journal topic on the board, either Math or Language Arts. They have to write at least 5 sentences and get very descriptive. I have one or two students who either don't do it or procrastinate, but for the most part they write out of their journals in the a.m.

    I don't think they have all the skills needed to write and think they're doing a good job. I have a lot of self-esteem problems with the same class and they think they can't do it. I'm working on how to get to the writing process.

    The other night I was thinking of having a semester long project. It would be creating a book. They sell blank books at teacher stores (the Educator in my area). They would have to go through the whole writing process. I created one in a college course and I would use my example to show them what they can look like.
