@annasellers201 We as teachers know when students are ready for critical feedback when they can take typical feedback, make appropriate changes, and understand why the changes need to be made. We can measure this through improvement, based on feedback. #396FlynnS23

@Caitlyn_Kirk_ I definitely think that there's a benefit to multiple rounds of review! Each time a paper or assignment is reviewed, valuable feedback is produced that can help further the writing and thought process! Some ideas: rounds for grammar, sentence structure, or content! #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

My question: What is the most important aspect of peer review and WHY is it important to include in English classes, even at a young age? #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

In “RtSW”, it says teachers should FIRST respond as a reader, THAN as a teacher when giving suggestions to students. Teachers who are not receptive/supportive, means students lose the desire to complete a writing process and produce final products instead. #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

An important idea of “Strategic Writing” is that it is ok for teachers to provide feedback to students about peer review and go over things students might have missed or could improve upon for next time. Like writing, peer review can always be grown upon. #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

An important idea from “Strategic Writing” is that students need to be taught how to provide feedback, and the teacher's expectations of the feedback they provide, and should be given a template or list of how to provide effective feedback! #396FlynnS23

@ScholarHess Assessing students regularly and doing both formal and informal formatives can help make sure teachers know where their students are with concepts! Having check-ins, and building relationships with students should help eliminate silent majority! #396FlynnS23

@eer396 Inquiry activities: I would compare and contrast different writing styles from two different authors and have the students try to mimic each of the styles and point out their differences! Great way to involve students. #396FlynnS23

“Writing Next”?: What element of writing, out of the 11 listed, should be incorporated in every lesson and is most important in today’s classroom? The author gives an example: “The Greeks prized rhetoric, or persuasive writing, while the Romans prized eloquence”. #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

In “Benefiting All Students HRL”, the important idea is that the framework helps students see the world through their own and other people's eyes. Teaching criticality helps students grow to critique information/sources they see in the classroom and everyday life. #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

“Writing Next” states that in order for students to write at a proficient level, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other basic skills must be mastered, and the writing process should be followed. Students' needs in these basic writing skills must be met by teacher #396FlynnS23

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

In “Writing Next”, I learned there are 11 key elements that teachers could incorporate in their lessons daily to see students' best outcomes/performance. Using one of these elements will not allow for a full understanding of writing, so teachers need to plan ahead #396FlynnS23

This week in class we talked about Assistive Technology. We were able to look at all the tools and technology accessible to people who need it. it was nice going in and seeing all of it in person, and getting to try the products out first hand.#EDUC387713 #UDCDS #AT

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

This week, we learned about assistive technology and how it can be utilized in the classroom in so many ways!

For some ideas and information about what AT is!

This week I got to create a flipped lesson! Creating the lesson wasn’t hard but trying to finding a good recording tool was kind of an obstacle. But I got through it! Hopefully you’ll be able to create a flipped lesson/classroom! #educ387713 #flippedclassroom #flippedleaning

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

This week, I got to create my own flipped lesson and lesson plan! I did mine on poetry and created the interactive lesson using @nearpod!
Check it out: https://t.co/tJts0niZ2N
Use code: UYGTX
Flipped lessons are a great tool for educators!

Flipped classroom is a great way to give students the flexibility to learn and work at their own pace! It should be incorporated in every classroom! #flippedclassroom #edtech #flippedclass #EDUC387713

[Madelyn David @MadelynDavid123]

This week, we learned about flipped classrooms! I like the concept of changing the traditional classroom model and swapping homework at night for at-home learning and lectures in class to group projects and assignments.

I had a lot of fun learning how to use Scratch, and made a fun little space themed pong game. I found Scratch to be pretty intuitive, and would absolutely be accessible for kids to learn and get excited about coding!

This week in class, we explored Scratch, a website for children to practice programming! It was so interesting to come up with my own program and see how existing programs could be used in the classroom!
