I use a structure based approach to writing:1. Establish the purpose.2. Supply the templates for answering different question types.3. Guide students through the structure.4. View examples.5. Build responses using outline templates I have designed depending on the requirements of the task.6. Move step by step.7. Provide rubric based feedback and editing key-based feedback on grammar, punctuation, and style.8. Allow time for re-drafting.9. Engage in overall evaluation.10. Start again with a new task.
I have designed a symbol based editing key that points out errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling with links to lessons on each function.Students attempt to self correct for an upgrade on their score. Then we review all errors together before final drafting.
Reading is best improved with exposure and collaboarative reading. The level of collaboration depends on the reader's level. I place strong emphasis on both reading comprehension and fluency, as well as critical thinking and oral/written responses to content and themes. This helps contextualuze reading.
I have fully designed dashboards specifically targeted at responding to literature. These programs which I have designed and updated over 20 years cover vocabulary, oral expression, themes and concepts, as well as all levels of writing structure depending on the curriculum requirements and purpose. This is my speciality, especially for international school students in all curricula.
Examples, modeling, and practice, including audio and visual representations for producing accuracy.
