Something relevant to say about what I learnt from this unit, is that, here in this unit I found some teminology, characteristics, steps and skill that we have to take into account at the moment that we are developing or practicing our writing skills. It is for that reason that I included some terms in this work, because I consider these are very important. First of all, it is important to mention that writing skill, is a productive skill, where we can find different kind of language use, it means vocabulary that can depend on the formality level of the writing, we also can use our own style, level of complexity, the way how we can arrange the information, it means the layout that we can use to express our ideas in a written form. It is also relevant to yake into account the different skills that we can find in this skill, as it is writing. The writing skill, involve other subskills, that cn be related to accuracy, where we can find aspects like the correct spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, grammar use and correct sentences and paragraph structure. And we also have the subskill, related to communicating, which includes, using appropriate style, register and functions, ideas organization, in order to express ideas in a correct way. At the moment to write something, we also have to think about the steps that we must follow in order to have a good work. The firs step that we have to take into account at the moment to begin with the writing is to think about some ideas in order to brainstorm them, after that we have to do our firs draft, where we can make some changes, then we need to edit the first draft, after that we can begin with the final resul that we can get after some revisions and improvements.
In my case, what i have considered from this chapter as something relevant at the moment to think as a teacher, is that we have to teach our students, the correct way, how they can develop a good written work, since they are children , in that way, I consider that can be easier for them to use the steps to create a very well done writing assignment.

I liked your reflection and the part how you can teach this to your students because we as future teachers must explain them first the process of writing and then let them to practice with free writing and this way they can learn and practice this skill.
ResponderBorrarIt's true that you said, but I think that first we need to teach them to write short paragraphs where we can include the basic structure like main idea and the supported details. Afther that, we can move to complex writings teaching first the steps of how to write an excellent piece of paper. However, the most important thing is to build confidence and motivated the students; only with this they can overcome their afraid to write.
ResponderBorrarPersonally this is the most dificult skill to teache and Perform We need to use different strategies in order to make our students active during the process
