Pre-write - Plan - Write/Draft - Edit
|
Our trip to Fish Creek Provincial Park on Monday was successful. The weather held, and so we were able to do all of our planned activities without rain raining on our parade! (See below for a Twitter story on our activities at the Park!) The time we spent in the Artisan Gardens was a perfect way to re-inforce the steps of the writing/composition process introduced to the students earlier in the year, and we are currently working through a step-by-step process to practice this process as it is a foundation for effective composition and creation.
We are also exploring the concept of the "Goldilocks zone" in composition. Like planets, composition has an (admittedly sometimes subjective) area in which it belongs if it is going to thrive. Successful communication need not only be clear, but also compelling, engaging, concise, and precise. In order to get to the Goldilocks zone, students are encouraged to consider carefully the writing process, as well as the intentional choices they make when composing and revising. Of course, audience and purpose are also important to consider.
