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.
How did you all feel about the strategy of the three stars, one wish? I must say I welcomed it, because I received positive feedbacks...by the way thanks for that 👍and ways I can improve on my writing. Again, back in my classroom I can use it with my students. They will be given positive feedbacks and also wishes that will assist them with their writing. The feedbacks I got, did not belittle me, instead it opened my eyes to new insights. Therefore, I can now go back to the drawing board, using the wishes mentioned to fix the loop holes in my writing.
Hey, Narlz, can I just say that I envied you a bit that you got the chance to sit in the author's chair lol. I was grateful for the opportunity to share my writing with my colleague because it actually helped me. I had to go back to the drawing board to make a few changes that I am now content with. Oh and as for the three stars, one wish strategy, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will employ the use of this strategy in my classroom in the upcoming weeks. I really love how it steps away from positive and negative. I feel like this way students would feel less intimidated to come forward and share their writing with their classmates.
ReplyDeleteHi Narlyn,
ReplyDeleteI was happy you shared your story with the whole class. It was a great experience for you. As you received the feedback, you were able to make the necessary changes to your story. I like the 3 stars strategy. I am thinking about using this strategy in the class. I took special notes about how to use it. I hope you get to use it in your class so your students will get the same experiences as you.
