Response to ch. 1-3

Reading ch 1-3 was about the importance of writing and how writing should be taught in the class. The author says that the best way is to motivate them to want to write. Being in 1st grade writing isnt what the kids want to be doing. So you would have to help them out and make writing fun and maybe that will motivate them to want to write. I know a great thing that would be fun for students to want to write is. Instead of reading a book aloud to them have it where they can watch it and it makes them want to listen to the book more if someone makes funny sounds while reading a book. The students think sometimes are boring because they don't mostly get into. So if they like the reading then you could get them to write a paragraph about the favorite part about the book. So it is just about wanting to motivatie them to want to write. So you sometimes have to make writing fun for the kids. Also it is great to make kids to be creative with their writing. You dont want the kids to think that they are being punished by writing that is why you as a teacher has to make it fun.
