Trillium Montessori Talks 036: Creating Confident and Competent Writers
Writing opportunities present themselves in the elementary classroom in a variety of ways. Some students are naturally inclined writers, and others might lack the confidence to write.
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Madeline Walk, Elementary Content Editor at Trillium Montessori. We’re discussing how writing fits into all aspects of the Montessori classroom, how to help students find confidence and creativity in writing, as well as common roadblocks students face when it comes to writing, and how to observe and assess, provide feedback, and help them overcome any barriers to writing.
What’s in this episode:
Common mistakes students make in their writing, and ways to help them overcome those mistakes
Finding neutral moments to teach a mini-lesson and then allow students to see where they can apply the lesson in their own work
How to help students develop creativity and imagination in their writing
Looking at writing from the perspective of cosmic education
The importance of observing your students and their writing
How to assess student writing and provide helpful feedback
