Week 3

What i found out about Inspiration was that it is a tool that can help students with brainstorm, organize, outline, diagram and write. Students can easily start word documents and understand each template they choose for their assignment. It also helps students plan, research and complete projects successfully. I think that Inspiration is cool in that it helps a lot for the students who have a hard time brainstorming or coming up with ideas on how to start a paper. What interest me was how easy it was to come up with a diagram to help start a paper. I would use this method of teaching when my students start learning how to write papers, or for the students who have a hard time writing a paper and putting it all together.

A type of writing activities that i would use for my classroom is indexing. Its where it contains many stories that have been indexed by topic, theme, context, goal, reasoning and so on. When students analyse stories in order to understand the issues, they better understand the underlying complexity of any phenomenon with issues related to cultural, political, and person things. My students will have a certain amount of days where i just devote that time to peer reading and revising. What we are doing now using Blogs is a good example for students to do peer feedback.
