- Responses to Reflections on Framing Literacy 6,
Well I've had the chance to do some great reading this week.
Chapter seven really reinforced all of those things that I've been taught to
do and look for. Sometimes it takes the extra work but it is worth it in the
long run. Different children require different things of this we must always
be aware. It is our job to find their strengths and capitalize upon them. The
child will reminded me of ME in school I liked to take the easy route, it wasn't
until years later that I started to take risks, I think my self-efficacy changed.
I became a much more reassured person in my early twenties. Some of my best reading
though this week was for Dr Abrahamson's class. If you haven't read Joey Pigza
Swallowed the Key then do so. My husband said he hadn't heard me laugh out loud
while reading a book in a long time. With this book I did it all the time. -Jane
Jane, creating an atmosphere of low stress and high motivation is essential
but as you pointed out there can still be the occasional reluctant risk-takers
out there that need an extra push, one thing I do is create opportunities
for praise for veiled risks. For instance i have a wall of honor where
we as a class put the best examples of student writing, whether it is
elaboration, humor, or horror... Some of my strong but reserved students
are so interested in making it on the wall that they forget that they
don't usually take risks. It works great with my struggling students
as well as some of them are very funny and can tell great stories which
we judge mostly on content. Justin
