Hello Family, 💗 Welcome to another week of Blogging. As you realized, our lecturer continued with Narrative writing and we were given the opportunity to sit with a colleague that we were comfortable with to share and also critique each others Narrative piece. How did you all feel about that? As for me, I was a bit uncomfortable at first because I was not sure how my fellow colleague will react to my critiques. Turned out well as you guys can see because I am still here in one piece to blog. 😂 LOL.... As we are on Narrative writing, I want to ZOOM in on a particular aspect of this weeks session. The Author's chair. Mrs. Laz gave me the opportunity to read my piece. I must say that I am grateful for that opportunity because if I did not get it, I would have remained with my story thinking I will obtain a high score. Long story short, I was amazed of the strategy used to critique my story. I believe as teachers, we have to be mindful of our learners feelings. ...

Hello Colleagues, I could not have waited to blog this week because today's Lit 102 session is still quite vivid in my head like fresh squeezed orange juice. Narrative Writing. From today's session, I must say I am full.

Or if not her, then her twin sister? LOL😆😀 Honestly, I was NOT in the mood for class today, just wanted to hand in the assignment and go home. Now, I have no regrets of having stayed. Let us walk through today's session again. From what I gathered, The Writing Workshop is one of the most common yet effective teaching strategies that can be used to generate ideas when writing. This includes Teaching time, where the teacher spends time ensuring that the students have enough pre-requisite knowledge needed for writing. Honestly,...
Welcome Colleagues 👪, As I engage you in another session of LIT 102 classes where Mrs. Lazarus held the session on The Writing Process. I could not help but look back on my life as a primary school student. Maybe teachers back then did not know the meaning of the word process.... sigh.😢Although I was not as fortunate in learning about it then, I am forever grateful for the opportunity to teach it now to my students. Pre-writing, Drafting, Revising, Proofreading, and Publishing are the steps involved in the writing process. What I love most about this process is that it takes time. Time that can assist students in providing their best work, which most likely may not have been from a one-shot writing. As Mrs. Lazarus explained the process, I could not help but have silly thoughts. The writing process could be like a bad relationship. wow! I believe I just used figurative language😀. In other words, if it is not working out, nothing is wrong in taking a break o...
