| Thank you, Chromebooks, for the experience. |
It is amazing. They have been full engaged.
Why? I ask myself.
I have tried to take away the common roadblocks to writing, being a writer myself I know them well.
No laziness.
No hesitancy to get started.
No procrastination.
It's a classroom--I get to boss them into getting going!
The kids look forward to writing. Why?
Strong reading background.
Movies, media, television-lots of stories.
Video games--what? Yes, I think participating in video games is an ongoing story that involves some writing essentials and engagement. The intense focus of extended involvement may have conditioned the kids to writing fiction.
I worked to encouraged the students to imagine and write quickly, less worried about editing.
Liberty to try without the shackles of ELA.
For now
Using what we already know, I kept referring to a plot diagram.
Write like a real author-everyone has a story.
I am grateful for the tech to do this--we have Chromebooks in the class. This is great. This makes me happy.
