EDU 643 week 3 Discussion 2

Week 3 - Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

After reading the steps of Writer’s Workshop in Chapter 7 of the textbook, read the article Worlds beneath the words: Writing workshop with second language learners.

Create a meaningful writing prompt.  Be sure to identify the level of education that allows your students to share their personal experiences, cultural values, and what is relevant to their lives. Your prompt should provide guidance on a particular topic to which all students need to adhere.  For example: most valued possession, favorite holiday, or biggest personal struggle.  Also include a rubric for how you will grade this assignment for writing fluency and accuracy, and topic adherence.  Feel free to use an online rubric site such as this one to inform your work.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your peers on how their writing prompts can be used to guide future instruction in other content areas, besides English or Language Arts.  In addition, review their grading rubrics. What suggestions can you make for improvement?

Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
