Teaching and Writing Final Assignment
Teaching and Writing Final Assignment
This method requires learners to identify the author's purpose and themes embedded in the text.
Questions such as this can help the teacher to achieve this:
What lessons can be learnt from this passage?
What does the author tend to achieve through the passage? Etc.
Visualization
This method helps learners connect the written words with actual visible scenes through their
imagination. Learners can be asked to draw the characters based on the details of description of
the text For instance, a passage may describe the appearance of a thief wearing dark shades,
with a face cap, sagged jeans trousers, puffing cigarettes; if a learner draws an image of someone
on a suit and tie, carrying a brief case, it clearly shows that the learner needs more assistance.
B. Writing
QUESTION1: What are the differences between shared and interactive writing?
ANSWER: The difference between shared writing and interactive writing is that in
interactive writing, the teacher gives the pen to different students and invites them to add
a letter, part of a word, a word or even a sentence. text is being written. Like shared
writing, it gives teachers a great opportunity to support student learning through
modeling and thinking out loud. This technique is best used for modeling word stretching
and spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and vocabulary development. It's a
great technique to use in interdisciplinary writing. Using interactive writing to create a
statement about what has been covered in science, social, or math lessons can help
students solidify their thinking. This technique is especially useful for ESOL students
who are trying to master the language of content and reflect on their learning. It can be
difficult to keep the whole class engaged in interactive writing activities. Keep activities
brief. Writing one to three sentences is more than enough to summarize what has been
covered in a lesson. To keep all students engaged while each student contributes writing,
ask other students to follow along on a dry erase board, in a notebook (we call our
content notebooks). one tab for math, science and social studies is our Knowledge Book).
, with text on the air, even written on the back of their partner. Make sure the sentences
are created by students.
Drafting Stage
The teacher can use the P. I. E strategy This strategy is for paragraph development. acronym
stands for P-point, I-illustration, E - explanation. The writer expands the ideas by elaborating the
points and giving illustrations with other supporting ideas. Point Illustration Supporting ideas
can further be generated by using the E. E paragraph of writing as a stretching of ideas guide. For
instance, a nervous learner can be given a topic on his help the learner to think of more ideas.
Writing frames are starters for paragraphs which learners can follow and build their own ideas.
Revising stage
Revising stage is when learners revisit their written work and effect corrections on the content
and organization of ideas in the work. Additions, change of ideas and deleting of irrelevant ideas
are done at this stage. This stage of writing seems to be boring to the learners. A learner is
required to sit on the author's chair and read out his or her written work while others listen and
make their input.
Editing stage
At this stage, the learners correct errors on punctuation, spelling and grammar. Learners
need to know that editing is an integral part of writing skill and cannot be ignored. Carl
(2000) terms this stage as the nitty-gritty checks on mechanics of writing. This stage can
be done in pairs or groups(mixed ability group) It could also be through self- editing or
teacher conferences.
Publication
This stage calls for celebration. The knowledge that learners' work will be shared with a
particular audience is a great motivation for them. It is not only the teacher that needs to read the
learners finished product. Their work can be shared among their peers, published in the school
magazine, read in the general assembly, pasted on notice board or inthe class, or even read by
family and friends. All these avenues make learners' work visible and spur them to be better
writers.
QUESTION3: Discuss the three types of writing assessment methods.
ANSWER: Strategies, tools and instruments that a teacher uses to determine the extent of
learning is called assessment method. defines assessment in education as the variety of methods
or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure, and document the academic readiness, learning
progress, skill acquisition and educational needs of students. The methods for assessing writing
are as follows.
1. Direct Assessment Method
These are the types of assessment methods in which samples of learners` writings are obtained
under controlled conditions and then evaluated by trained judges (Breland, 1983). Learners are
made to demonstrate their writing abilities by performing the act of writing. Questions that
require students to write essays are examples of direct assessment method.
2. Indirect evaluation method
This evaluation method is based on student observations Knowledge of a particular aspect of
writing. It may be grammar Depending on aspects such as punctuation and part of speech
The examiner wants to test. Learners take a multiple-choice test An element that deals with
the structural aspects of lighting. good Examples are lexical and structural. We recommend that
you do not use indirect methods This does not reflect the learner's true writing, so to test
writing skills capacity. Cooper (1984) supports this direct evaluation method. Essay tests are
considered to be more meaningful than multiple-choice tests.
3. Portfolio-based valuation method
The portfolio is period. White (1994) describes the valuation of the portfolio as follows: A
systematic collection of student work samples, Observation over a certain period, test results,
etc. that too the growth and achievement of students' academic achievements. Called
cumulative evaluation, it represents the learner's performance It has evolved over
time(https://www.rand.org). Regarding writing Ratings provide a portfolio with a collection
ofwriting samples from each Learner. These collections reflect learners' writing advances. Also
