My Students
What makes a good writer? The writing process is difficult to see and understand. It's often invisible to students and becomes frustrating. In order to succeed in college and professional life, they must be proficient writers and able to edit and reflect on their work.
I teach amazing artistic students who thrive with hands-on, experiential learning.
They understand how to shade an image or play a scale to learn a song, but English seems so different. They learn well by practicing and having experts model for them. I want to harness this artistic learning process to teach reading and writing in my English classroom.
My Project
I'm requesting a document camera to hook up to our LCD projector (and a cart to hold them both). This amazing tool is MUCH better than an overhead projector because it cuts out the step of copying everything for the overhead onto transparency and having to write with smudgy markers. Students can walk up with their writing or a mentor text and put it on the projector's tablet - it will be projected directly on the board! It will make mini-lessons easy to execute and make every child a model in the class. Students will be able to see me and their peers writing, editing, and revising works in person using the document camera. This will demystify the process of writing and help students learn it the way they learn their art! We can even take video or snapshots of the process to upload to our class website so students can revisit them and continue to learn at home. My writers will be more prepared for their high school and college curriculum.
Creating college-ready writers and thinkers is my top priority.
This tool will help make the writing process visible and clear to my students so they can improve their writing and prepare for college and professional writing tasks. Please help my class by providing this wonderful tool!
