 Dear colleagues, 👩👩👩

Happy Saturday to you all, and welcome once more as I blog on the past week of LIT 102. Persuasive writing ( cont'd).  In my observations, I noticed how Mrs. Lazarus questioned us to obtain our prerequisites before placing us in groups based on our topics. As she rightfully said, she had other topics planned for this session but saw the need to focus on Persuasive Writing. Have any of you ever had to make a judgment call like this before? I have, and I did not because as a young teacher, I was always afraid of what Ministry officials were going to say. Thankfully, I know better now and can make the right decisions as it relates to my students.

we got the opportunity to work with our pairs in small groups based on our topic. Luckily my group was just the two of us, unlike others that had six and seven members. I embraced the opportunity and was able to get adequate assistance from my colleague who seems to be very knowledgeable in that area. Having been engaged in this activity, I am not only going back to the drawing board to fix my sentence outline but also putting plans in place for my classroom. This session also reassured me that students can learn from their peers as well while the teacher's role is walking around the classroom, monitoring and ensuring they are on task, and, even offering other assistance when needed. 

That is this week to me in a nutshell. Until next time, do have a great week ahead.👋

    Hi Narlz, I agree with you on the session activity this week. I was happy to work with my peers who chose the same topic as mine. We were able to give constructive feedback and suggestions. I used the feedback and suggestions to revise my draft. This was a really good idea because we got a chance for someone to critique our piece before giving up our final piece.

 My Fellow colleagues💗,  Tired of me yet? LOL. No worries because we are almost at the end of this course. In the meantime, let me remind us of our session this week. The Writing traits (cont'd). Mrs Lazarus spent a significant amount of time on this topic, did she not? As if she was reading our minds, she explained her reason why. We are presently critiquing a child's piece and we will need to be familiar with the writing traits in order to ace that piece. check out this poster, there are many more similar ones on the internet that we can use in our classrooms.  In addition to the writing traits, I loved the idea of Mrs. Lazarus having a class discussion/ critique of a sample. Then we paired with our assignment partner to discuss another one. I must say I embraced this activity because my partner and I were able to share many ideas together. What I liked most about this, is that my partner could have pointed out some strengths or weaknesses from the passage that I could...

 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...
