<br />
In the previous module, Teaching Reading to Adults, the final activity was the Language Experience Approach. This combines reading and writing, and is a useful method of not only developing reading skills but also beginning to understand the writing process. At first, when you and your student share a Language Experience, you will write what she tells. Later, as she grows more confident and skilled, she can write as well.<br />
<br />
Many of the reading comprehension strategies and the vocabulary and word recognition skills that the beginning reader develops will improve if the reader is also writing questions and summaries, new words and their definitions. Writing down the sight words as the list grows will help the learner to recognize them over time. These two skills reinforce each other.<br />

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. The Writing Process</span></span></div>
<br />
Writing is a process of<a href="http://www.tec.govt.nz/Documents/Publications/Learning-progressions-write-to-communicate.pdf"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>communicating thoughts and ideas</b></span></a> from the writer to the reader. This process involves two skills sets. One is the thinking/creativity skill. The other involves the small motor skills involved in using a pen or pencil or typing on a keyboard. The two skills are interconnected in many ways that researchers who study the operations of the brain do not fully understand.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Thinking/Creativity Skills</span><br />
One of the reasons people have trouble with writing is that the process is somewhat mysterious. We do not know where the ideas come from. We are often led astray from the topic by free-flowing words. Or, the supply seems to dry up suddenly and our minds go blank.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Small Motor Skills</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1. Pen or Pencil</span><br />
Adults who are not accustomed to writing might not have developed the fine motor skills in their hands and fingers to accomplish the physical act of writing. Their penmanship may be extremely poor. You will need to encourage your learner to practice handling a writing instrument. Some students may need practice copying and writing smaller letters in anticipation of filling out applications; others may be ready to practice cursive writing. Some never learn to use cursive writing but print all of their written communication.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">2. Keyboard</span><br />
If your learner has trouble writing, whether it is coming up with ideas or putting pen to paper, you may want to try putting her in front of a keyboard.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The keyboard</span><br />
<ol>
<li>requires different small motor skills and different neural paths from putting pen to paper</li>
<li>frees up writers who can only stare at an empty piece of paper</li>
<li>works particularly well with learners who experience learning difficulties or disabilities.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<br />
With adults completely unaccustomed to the keyboard, the tutor can act as scribe, typing the learner's words and ideas. As the learner becomes more familiar using the keyboard, she can take over the physical act of typing her own stories.<br />

The Three Phases of Writing</span></span><br /></div><br />All learned skills require practice. Learning to write takes time. It takes concentration. As a tutor, you will need to help your student become comfortable with the idea of writing and then the act of writing itself.<br /><br />Writing as a process can be broken into three phases: pre-writing, writing, and post-writing or revising.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;">Pre-Writing: The First Phase</span><br /><br />Pre-writing activities will help your student to get ready to perform the task of writing. Pre-writing consists of gathering ideas and thinking of the order in which they should appear so the reader can follow the thought process of the writer. In pre-writing tasks, tutors will help the learner to:<br /><blockquote><ul><li>Think about the subject and activate their prior knowledge just as with reading activities.</li><li>Outline and organize ideas.</li><li>Focus on the reader and the purpose for writing.</li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"></div></blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;">Required Assignment</span><br /><br />Use a mind map or other graphic organizer to organize your thoughts for a topic of your choice. Now go to "comments" and share which graphic organizer you chose and why.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;">Optional Link</span> (<a href="http://www.writedesignonline.com/organizers/">Click here to find out more about graphic organizers.</a>)Dear Tutor,http://www.blogger.com/profile/16963393501934856505noreply@blogger.com84tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390771901419617622.post-48192680724883455402007-02-10T14:04:00.000-08:002009-11-04T10:15:33.384-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Writing: The Second Phase</span></span><br /></div><br />After completing the pre-writing activities, encourage your student to put thoughts to paper. Even experienced writers will hesitate at this point. Many of the things your learners will want to write about are related to the business of their lives, such as:<br /><blockquote><li>notes to teachers or family,</li><li>letters requesting information or assistance, or<br /></li><li>a complaint.<br /></li></blockquote>Your student's purpose for writing in these instances is well defined. At first you might want to encourage her to make a series of lists. As she becomes more capable, the writing process will also involve putting thoughts on paper.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><b>About the first draft</b></span><br /><br />Just remember that at the very beginning, all learners are worried about the mechanics of writing (spelling, grammar, punctuation). This is because their spelling and word awareness skills require considerable building, as do their handwriting skills. Most of the learners you will encounter need to develop spelling and sound recognition skills as well as their narrative ones. In fact, it is their lack of these tools of writing that inhibits them.<br /><p align="left">When writing a first draft, encourage your student to write until she is finished.</p><blockquote><ul><li>Allow her words to flow without any editing or interruption.</li><li>Promise you will help to fix the mechanics later.</li></ul></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Tip: </span><span style="font-style: italic;">If your student cannot think of the exact word, have her draw a line or a symbol, or encourage her to invent spellings for words. (McShane, Activity 66, pp 117-8)</span></blockquote>It is important to teach your student that revision and editing are part of the post writing process. There are two reasons for separating revision from the writing phase.<br /><br /><strong></strong><blockquote><ol><li><strong>Writing is dynamic and creative.</strong> The flow of ideas, even when it is slow, requires energy to keep going.<strong></strong></li><li><strong>Making corrections is a static process;</strong> it looks for fault and error. It will completely stop the flow of ideas.</li></ol></blockquote>Therefore, do not make corrections until all of your student's ideas are on paper. Once that happens, you can correct the mistakes by helping her to:<br /><blockquote><ul><li>find the exact words </li><li>fix spelling and grammar mistakes</li><li>modify sentence structure or sentence order</li></ul><br /></blockquote>Dear Tutor,http://www.blogger.com/profile/16963393501934856505noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390771901419617622.post-66651283216188786902007-02-09T14:17:00.000-08:002012-10-16T10:58:37.650-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">

<div align="left">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div align="left">
<b>Free Writing:</b> In this exercise, you will need to set a timer for ten minutes. Then, put your pen to paper and begin writing. You must write words on the paper for the entire period of time. You can start out by writing, "This is stupid, this is dumb, I hate this," but within a few minutes you will find that you are writing and the timer will surprise you.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The purpose of free writing is to loosen up the process. Peter Elbow, author of any number of books on teaching writing, especially teaching writing to adults [<em>Anyone Can Write</em> (2003), <em>Writing with Power</em> (1981), <em>Writing Without Teachers</em> (1973)] is a strong proponent of using free writing. He is an engaging writer himself, and his books offer excellent insight into the writing and revising process.</div>

<br />
After you have succeeded in helping your student complete a first draft, you will help her to edit and proof it. Watch this introductory video about revision:<br />
<br />
<object height="289" width="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5pojBpgxWo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5pojBpgxWo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="360" height="289"></embed></object><br />
<br />
Also watch this short video about the three-step revision process. This technique works just as well for the very low level learner as well as for the GED student. Tutors must make sure to help the student step-by-step, helping students to see that writing at all levels is a process and that all good writers must revise their work:<br />
<br />
<object height="289" width="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ezI42BqJ4d4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ezI42BqJ4d4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="360" height="289"></embed></object><br />
<br />
In revision, you will add details that you and your student decide are necessary or helpful to understanding the topic. You and your student will work at:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>eliminating any extraneous or repetitive information;</li>
<li>moving and rearranging sentences to make the flow of ideas more logical or easier for the reader to follow; and</li>
<li>correcting spelling and sentence structure errors. (For many people, especially those who have had trouble in the past, these are the biggest blocks to writing.)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

Integrating Writing Into Your Lessons</span></span><br /></p><p align="left">Combined reading and writing lessons work so well together. As Kerka says, writing provides the opportunity for the learner to develop his or her ideas on a topic. Writing about a reading assignment allows the learner to think that assignment through. It also gives you a ready-made topic on which to write. <a href="http://www.glencoe.com/sec/teachingtoday/subject/int_writing.phtml" target="_blank"><strong>Integrating Writing Into the Classroom</strong></a> (<a href="http://www.glencoe.com/sec/teachingtoday/subject/int_writing.phtml" target="_blank">www.glencoe.com/sec/teachingtoday/<br />subject/int_writing.phtml</a>) describes a number of ways in which to combine reading and writing lessons together.</p><p align="left">It is not likely that your learner will become a notable author or discover a previously untapped talent. But all of us need writing in our daily lives, and being able to use writing effectively is something that will strengthen your learner's spirit to continue. Writing tasks should be applicable to daily life: lists, letters to teachers or friends, or complaints to stores or landlords are all immediately useful. But there is a little bit of poet lurking in everyone's soul.<br /></p><p align="left"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >Summary</span><br /></p><p align="left">All of us require writing skills in our daily lives. Not being able to write coherently affects the life of your student as strongly as not being able to read fluently. Writing involves both small-motor skills and creative skills, which can add to the difficulty in developing writing skills. In addition, most learners are worried about their lack of spelling and grammar capabilities. Separating the writing process into its three phases: pre-writing, writing, and post-writing will assist your learner to focus on the communication skills. Realizing that revision is a separate step can open up the process to allow for a flow of ideas. The Language Experience Approach is very useful in showing that the communication of ideas is completed by the combined skills of reading and writing.</p><p align="left">In the next unit, you will learn to assess your student's skills and create lesson plans to help her reach her goals.</p><p align="left"><br /></p>Dear Tutor,http://www.blogger.com/profile/16963393501934856505noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390771901419617622.post-71098148031785682562007-02-06T14:09:00.000-08:002012-10-15T14:03:17.306-07:00<o:p></o:p><br />
