Writing Inventory

In reviewing your responses to the writing inventory, how would you define your overall attitude toward writing? Can you capture that sentiment in 10 words or less? Respond to at least four classmates’ blogs.

Reflection on Write-Around...

I look forward to getting to know all of you and to reading what you have to say! The beauty of a blog is that everyone has a voice (shy and outgoing alike!), and it also allows you time to think and then share your thoughts.

Your first blog will be to discuss the Write-Around. There were several things we talked about in class: experience starting a story, writing the middle of a story, and ending a story. Then we shared. How do you think this activity would be beneficial in a secondary classroom? In other words, why do it? Why do you think Gallagher recommended doing it on Day One of any secondary classroom?
