Reflection To Writing Piece. As Writing My Piece, I There

Reflection to Writing Piece As writing my piece, I there were definite challenges and successes. These challenges and successful moments reminded me in my own journey as a student writer to an adult writer. In working with a group, I also found definitive successes and challenges. However, writing is an ever changing and growing craft and this process was part of my personal journey as both a teacher and a student. The first part of my reflection, includes my personal journey and how it relates to my students. I noticed when I was writing (and even when writing this reflection), I took every opportunity to procrastinate. I am usually a pretty hardworking and organized student, so it almost shocked myself to feel like a fourth grader†¦show more content†¦I kept wanting to go back and edit it more or change the language. I think as a student I don’t remember having this feeling. I also don’t know if it is because it was typed and that made it easier to edit. In addition, as an adult, I am a lso a skilled typist, so it was easy to do so. I am not sure how to translate this to students. I think as a student you almost want to finish and then not look at it again. I think the best way to teach students how to edit is to model. I think we should model what editing looks like and maybe even show how easy it can be to edit. Maybe even allowing students to type using an editor in Microsoft word. After I decided my final version of my poem we had our revision groups. In the revision groups, there were a lot of positive aspects. My favorite part was having another person revising with me. This way, sometimes I would doubt if my revisions made sense or were even beneficial, it was helpful to have another person next to me either to say no I feel the same way or can you explain more? In addition, I really liked asking people questions about their writing. I think it helps to verbalize your intent as author. In addition, what I liked in the revision groups was the immediate feedb ack. After I wrote my narrative, I wanted the feedback from my peers. I wanted to know if what I wrote was good or if it was confusing garbage. I think it’s honestly joyful to have others read your work and enjoy it.
