Other Student InputMost said it was easy to learn• “common sense”• “know it will matter to the future”• “I’m a fast learner”
No one had learned it before now, but they all felt fairly confident with it

Teacher’s Viewpoint• Makes writing manageable for
students • Encourages creativity• Lets students have their own voice• Common language when giving
feedback• Not enough examples of other
genres of writing (analytical/ persuasive)

Lesson PlanWriting Sequence for TE 408--had students write a descriptive
paragraph making inferences about a picture.
--ties directly into “6+1”--helps me see where they are at and
what they need to work on--can use the “6+1 rubric”
to help grade them
