HACK 2
Design with Making in Mind
AS A TEACHERS,
WE CAN
CHANGE THIS
INTO SOMETHING BETTER
To have the opportunity to design a writing
space that gave serious thought to the possitive effects of the learning place on the learner.
WHAT BENEFITS WILL IT BRING TO
YOUR STUDENTS?
These allow writers to create a lot of ideas. These instruments motivate students to write and work with others.
1-Provide containers.
LIKE THE WALLS
The most important
containers are the ones that hold our ideas and our thinking.
scraps of paper
sticky notes
chart paper
Capture the ideas, spread them out, and move them around of one purpose.
Designate spaces for collaborative and independent work.
Reserve a place for writers to share their learning
Treat your walls as
interactive tools
Motivate your students to write, to compare their ideas with succes and make decisions. Help them to connect with other writers who are writing similar proyects and working to solve it.
I love to have interactive walls and centers not only with writing but for Reading and math too. These kinds of spaces show you the real self of the students, also you can determine the level of your students in a more objective way. In the case of writing I prefer to let my students write freely, in the way they know. For example, if I am working with 4 year old’s they are going to make circles or write with scrawls, in that moment I do not care what letters they know I what to train their mindset first, I want to see what they are thinking, what are their reflexions about the topic we are talking about. Little by little they will start to add the letters they recognize in their writing but the way they write is going to be spontaneous and more organized tan the students that have to write the sentences the teacher is telling them to write.
