Love the idea of a gallery walk. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076520 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076520 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 11:02:42 -0400 Agree! I like that a mentor text was used to introduce the activity. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076519 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 11:01:21 -0400 I think it is such a great idea that students get to pick words they are curious about! https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076504 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076504 Fri, 09 Jun 2023 15:09:57 -0400 When I taught third grade I found teaching vocabulary in an engaging and active way was SO hard! Can relate to her thoughts. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076503 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076503 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 10:52:31 -0400 I love this idea as a self-contained teacher and would love to hear more about how you do it! https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075068 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075068 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 11:15:28 -0400 When I taught third grade we did this all the time to help them prepare for the state test because the state test does provide scoring rubrics. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075067 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075067 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 11:13:58 -0400 I tell my Kindergarten students " Share with me what you wrote" and even though they cannot read the words they wrote sometimes, even having them tell the story out loud to someone else they catch mistakes about their story or something they forgot. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075051 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075051 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 14:25:30 -0400 A huge part of writing in Kindergarten and I like how they talk about using it still in older grades too. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075050 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075050 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 11:45:01 -0400 I agree Tobi! It can be hard to also model the revising part of the writing process.I model so much up front and need to be better about this part. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075049 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075049 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 10:58:27 -0400
