 Hello Friends 👋,

            Happy Sunday, and welcome once again to another blogging. Today, I have decided to update you  on this week's content taught. Looking back, I can recall presentations being done, and also sharing of our Narrative pieces. Although the presentations were good, I want to ZOOM in  on the sharing of our writing. As we can recall, I was tasked with The Author's chair last week. However, even though I did not get the opportunity to share again, many of our colleagues did. 

I was amazed of all the different ways and styles our colleagues used in writing their pieces. What I really liked was the way Mrs. Lazarus allowed them to choose whichever part of the story they wanted to read. Personally, I learned a lot that day because I have so many different options to use in my future writing. Think outside of the box, is what came to my mind. My curiosity level built as well because I really wanted to find out how the stories ended. As if Mrs. Laz was reading my mind, she suggested a bank so we can share our writing. How brilliant if you ask me.

Apart from sharing, the discussion/ feedback from us was interesting because we got to assist our colleagues with ways of improving their writing and also compliment them.

I always try to make a link with what was taught to my classroom. Therefore, I will engage my students with this where they can benefit from their peers the different ways they can write. I believe students often learn from their peers who explain things at their level, so in using the Author's chair, I am confident that I will open the gateway to brilliant future writers.






Here is a video capturing what we did this week. Hope it helps. Enjoyyyyyyy!!!

 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...
