I think that showing student work and discussing its various features together and then asking students to rework their first drafts to make them more complete and coherent will be helpful. I just assigned their first big write-up of a problem of the week (https://docs.google.com/a/nuevaschool.org/file/d/0B_Vjfvjet27eNUJncFNzbzBpYVk/edit) so I'm hoping that will give us some meaty writing to analyze together and have students reflect on and improve. And good idea about sharing specific student work - will put that in the next blog post.

I wrote a lot with my own versions of how to spell words when I was young, but then I slowly learned the more conventional spellings. I think modeling it a lot without making them do it your way is probably a good thing to get it started. Maybe also doing gallery walks to look at each other's work and then allow students to offer each other questions to lead to clarification. If you want to share some specific work, I'd love to brainstorm it more.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163491309269691356noreply@blogger.com
