Strategies for writing
Let us strategize writing for more evolved students believes
primary and secondary faculty of Reputed Schools In Noida .Although there
are many different writing strategies referred to in the literature, they all
tend to have common aims and characteristics. They all focus on helping
students think productively before writing, and then to sequence their ideas
logically, add relevant detail, impose structure on their text, and then review
and improve their first draft.
Strategies for writing:
Ø POW and TREE: This is a two part strategy to help
students write opinion essays. This strategy can be effective with students
with learning difficulties, and can even be used as early as grade 3.The
students are taught to apply the following step by step procedure:
P=Pick your topic or idea.
O= Organize
your thoughts and make notes.
W= Write,
and then say more.
T= Topic sentence-state your opinion.
R= Give the least three reasons to support that belief.
E= Explain your reason in more detail. E= End with a good concluding statement.
Ø POW and WWW + What 2 + How 2: This strategy is for narrative story writing.POW is explained
above.
WWW Stands for: Who are the characters? /When does the story take
place?/Where does the story take place?
What to represents: What do the characters do? /What happens?
How to remind the writer to: States how the story ends. /How did the character feel?
This strategy has been used successfully with Grade 2 students
who were taught for 30 minutes sessions three times per as a result the
students wrote longer stories of better quality, because they gave more thought
to planning.POW plus WWW+What 2 +How 2 contains far too many steps for students
to-remember unaided, so it needs to be supported by use of a cue card or prompt
sheet.
Ø PLAN and WRITE-Students
learn the Mnemonics PLAN (to be used at the planning stage of
writing), and WRITE (to be used at the composing and transcription stages).
P=Pay attention to topic. Set your
goal.
L= List your main ideas.
A= Add supporting detail.
N=Number the ideas in sequence.
W=Work from your plan.
R=Remember the goals.
I=Include transition words to move from
one paragraph to the next.
T=Try different kinds of sentences
E=Exciting and interesting contents.
Ø Story planner:
It starts from Pre Primary and primary oral sessions taken in school in
expressway Noida.Using a story planner is also effective for helping students
brainstorm ideas before narrative writing, and arranging the ideas in best
sequence .the story planner can take the form of a graphic organizer that
provides a starting point for generating ideas. The topic title is written in a
circle in the centre of the whiteboard. From this circle a number of ‘spokes’
branch out like rays from the sun. As ideas related to the title are suggested,
each one added to one of the spokes until a suitable quantity of ideas have
been recorded. Prompts and clues can be used to stimulate student’s thinking.
Ideas might include the setting for story, the type of action to take place,
the character involved, the outcome, etc.As a class, students then review the
ideas and decide upon an appropriate starting point for the story. Number ‘1’
is written against that idea. How will the story develop? Students determine
the order in which the other ideas will be used, and appropriate numbers are
written against each spoke. Some of the ideas may not be used at all and can be
erased. Other ideas may need to be added at this stage, and numbered
accordingly. Students now use bank of ideas recorded on the story planner to
start writing their own stories. Brief notes can be elaborated into sentences
and the sentences gradually extended into paragraphs. By preparing the draft
ideas and then discussing the best order in which to write them, students have
tackled two of the most difficult problems they face when composing, namely
planning and sequencing.Primary, Middle and Secondary schools in Noida adopted these strategies.
Ø LESSER (LESSER helps me write more): Many struggling writers produce very little material
during time set aside for writing. This strategy is designed to increase the
amount of material these students complete in a lesson, thereby increasing the
amount of successful practice.
L= List your
ideas.
E= Examine
your list.
S= Select your
starting point.
S=Sentence one
tells us about this first idea.
E=Expand on
this first idea with another sentence.
R=Read what
you have written. Revise if necessary. Repeat for the next paragraph.
