Good morning,

For Learning Topic #7 the Weeks beginning Nov 20 you will need to read and discuss the chapters from the course guide.

Share two samples of student writing from your field work (if this is not possible you can share samples from your own child or a child that you know or the internet). Analyze the writing and discuss what the student did well and next steps-using a rubric.

Rather than choosing a topic from the course guide and preparing a lesson, choose a topic from the course guide and discuss how the writing samples you shared demonstrate that topic.

Share authentic methods of incorporating technology in your writing lessons. Please do not force technology into your writing lessons but rather present authentic methods of technology inclusion. If you are stumped listen to others ideas and demonstrate how your new learning from their examples could aid in the inclusion of technology in your writing lessons. Ideas and resources should be added to your toolkits.

If you have completed your field work please scan and send your field log to me for me to check off. (No learner can receive a passing grade without completing the required 30 hours of field work-if you have not completed your field work by the end of the semester you will receive an I/F pending completion.)

We will be presenting our Toolkits or samples from them in the next two weeks.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know as soon as possible.

Nancy,
