Grade 4 Blogging Unit: Teacher Reflections
http://4pintarelli.blogspot.com/p/teacher-reflections.html
Grade 4 Blogging Unit. I have been teaching essay writing to students in grades 3-5 for the past couple of years now. I have studied various approaches to teaching this genre - from Lucy Calkins and her colleagues at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project to Ruth and Stacey at twowritingteachers.com. As opposed to their stories. Structure for organizing their future blog posts. Next week my writers will become bloggers. Stay tuned for their first "essay" blog posts! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Grade 4 Blogging Unit. Monday, February 14, 2011. Digital Writing, like any other writing, is process based - writers plan for, draft, revise and edit. We reminded students of this process today as we taught our bloggers strategies for revising blog posts. In teaching students non-narrative writing revision, I often teach them to include (color coded in the example below) a fact. Teachers love learning with each other. Mrs Pintarelli modeled this revision technique on the Smartboard by showing students h...

Grade 4 Blogging Unit: Revising Blog Comments
http://4pintarelli.blogspot.com/2011/02/revising-blog-comments.html
Grade 4 Blogging Unit. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. As I indicated in a previous post, Mrs. Pintarelli and I discovered our students needed a re-fresher on blog commenting. We noticed that our bloggers, so enthused with being able to respond to their friends on line, were commenting with some lapses in netiquette and were writing comments that did not add to or start a conversation. We decided we needed to create a blog commenting rubric. And I know it makes me smarter when I play it". IBBY in New Zealand...

Grade 4 Blogging Unit. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Revising Blog Posts Part 2.

Grade 4 Blogging Unit: Revising Blog Posts
http://4pintarelli.blogspot.com/2011/03/revising-blog-posts.html
Grade 4 Blogging Unit. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. This blogging unit has been a powerful example of using technology as a medium. Instruction - not using writing as an excuse to use cool technology. Our 21st century learners have proven to need very little instruction in how. To use the technology of kidblog. Our lessons are about writing not about technology. Both students had very specific answers. Here are two examples of how students revised today:. Posted by Mrs. Danahy. IBBY in New Zealand and poetry.
