Q1 - What do you think speaking and writing have in common? Key differences? #TeachWriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:07 PM EST

(In case I get a little twitter happy (twitterpated?), I have a back-up account - @bkuhl3you - so no worries. . . ) #teachwriting

In reply to @bkuhl3you

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1 - Obviously, both about words and language. But I think you shape things differently when you're speaking. #teachwriting

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:08 PM EST

Katelynn, 6th grade ELA from IL. #teachwriting

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1: Both req knowledge of audience. Both used to communicate an idea. #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 - Speaking is more like music - rhythm, tone, pitch, pauses - all kinds of performative things that add meaning. #teachwriting

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1: Speaking is more off the cuff. Writing can be more intentional. Words are weighed a bit more bc of the process of writing. #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 - Writing tries to do a lot of the same things, but with different tools. Like punctuation marks. #teachwriting

ShelfieTalk Feb 14 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 Both speaking and writing require us to consider audience and purpose as they relate to our intended message. #teachwriting

PegGrafwallner Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 My first reaction would be expression. But I think it's deeper than that - both req an authentic audience #teachwriting

hutselllearn Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

my students make similar errors in both. Differences? They are more likely to self correct when speaking. #TeachWriting

In reply to @TeachWriting2

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 - Is speaking funnier? Sometimes I wonder . . . seems like it's easier to make people laugh when listening than reading. #teachwriting

Karen_C_Wild Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 speaking and writing- venues for expression #TeachWriting

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 Knowledge of audience is key for both. In speaking, tone can come through more clearly-pitch, rhythm, etc. communicate it #teachwriting

RobynHartzellpd Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 They both boil down to communication. A writing classroom will likely be noisy one! Talking matters...#teachwriting #edu6389

TeachWriting2 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:07 PM EST

Q1 - What do you think speaking and writing have in common? Key differences? #TeachWriting

nangur1 Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: Speaking & Writing are both thinking in action, both expressive in nature. Speaking is auditory; Writing is tactile #Teachwriting

Ah. Cool point. They have a better "ear" than "eye" for standard English. #teachwriting

In reply to @hutselllearn, @TeachWriting2

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: When done in person, speaking allows us to use facial expressions, gestures, etc to add to meaning. #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

Is that something they have in common? Or a difference? (Very interesting answer, BTW.) #teachwriting

In reply to @MRAROOM12

skeeTX Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: the spoken word can reinforce the written, accentuate the flaws or assist in the revision #teachwriting

briandurgin Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: they are both language output. We can control what comes out. #TeachWriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

And I think we need to see them as related processes. Or at least, helptful to each other. #teachwriting

In reply to @RobynHartzellpd

mardieteach Feb 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

#teachwriting A1 - Both speaking and writing are acts of creation.

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

Interesting - I like to think about the "control" - I tell myself I have more control over writing. #teachwriting

In reply to @briandurgin

RobynHartzellpd Feb 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

that is also a great way for us to show Ss how writing conventions influence speaking #teachwriting #edu6389

TeachWriting2 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:12 PM EST

Our 2nd question is coming soon! #TeachWriting

jroc_vii Feb 14 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 similarities:both require expression,style,tone|diffs:depending on the student one may be easier #teachwriting

TeachWriting2 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

Q2 - Do you use any speaking or read-aloud strategies when you write? If so, what? How? #TeachWriting

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

YES! Love to use this as a revision step: Read it out loud to yourself and see if you catch any errors #teachwriting

In reply to @skeeTX

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

I like to remind myself of that - talking is often good. Just needs to be focused/purposeful #teachwriting

In reply to @Mrs_Giordano, @RobynHartzellpd

skeeTX Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1b: teaching Ss to speak well will benefit them for a lifetime #teachwriting

JBarcelos11 Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 - Both require us to organize thought and make strong choices for audience and meaning. Writing can be less time sensitive #teachwriting

briandurgin Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

especially for ELs who need the practice. #TeachWriting

In reply to @skeeTX

RobynHartzellpd Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

yes! Speaking can be the precursor to or result of writing. #teachwriting #edu6389

A2 - I've asked students to read their work aloud - great way to help them think about it with different parts of their brain. #teachwriting

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

A2: We read our writing out loud frequently. Storytell as a prewriting strat. Have others read our writing to hear changes. #teachwriting

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2 During revision, definitely. Reading aloud helps Ss notice areas that are unclear or different errors in sentence structure #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2 - It's not just about grammar/punctuation. It's also about structure, paragraphing, and overall meaning. #teachwriting

skeeTX Feb 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: encourage Ss to read their work aloud or w/ partner. Recording on a device is an option as well. #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2 - So many of our kids are better at talking - so many funny, gifted storytellers think they're bad at writing. #teachwriting

mardieteach Feb 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2 #teachwriting For some forms of writing, we rehearse orally before we write - recount a personal narrative to a partner, express opinion

In reply to @briandurgin

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:16 PM EST

I hear this way too often from my Ss too—getting them said 1st helps create the “flow” of the piece #teachwriting

In reply to @bkuhl2you

skeeTX Feb 14 @ 9:16 PM EST

Should writing be more like speaking in terms of the formality? Many Ss can tell out loud but not on paper. #teachwriting

mardieteach Feb 14 @ 9:16 PM EST

So true! For some, it's just harder to put their stories/ideas on paper. #teachwriting

In reply to @bkuhl2you

jroc_vii Feb 14 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2 #teachwriting Ss read their writing out loud to revise and edit. Many Ss won't if not asked to reread their own writing.

briandurgin Feb 14 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: have Ss read to a partner but leave a few words out. Other student tries to guess what was left out. Active listening. #teachwriting

A4 - I like the word "compose" here, because I like to think of it as music, with chunks, and the need to shape/revise/perform #teachwriting

christyvalyou Feb 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3: As kids seek to understand, collaboration with a trusted writing partner is key. Helps to uncover the "so what?" #teachwriting

TeachWriting2 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:20 PM EST

Q3 - How can you help your students use speaking to generate ideas before writing? #TeachWriting

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4 Potential for using dictation & technology here too. Get the rough draft out using this tool, then go back and revise #teachwriting

briandurgin Feb 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: it might help Ss think through their writing. #teachwriting

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: We write in the air frequently to hear how our words might sound before transferring to paper. Good starting point. #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4 - Sometimes we smoosh (smush?) pre-writing and composing, especially on shorter texts. Give the kid a voice recorder. #teachwriting

skeeTX Feb 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

I think Ss develop routines that are best practices for themselves. We should model options and allow them to choose #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

Okay, what? Like pretend writing? Can you explain what you mean? It sounds kind of fun . . . #teachwriting

In reply to @MsKraushaar

mardieteach Feb 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4 - #teachwriting Rereading silently during the drafting process is like 'speaking inside your head' & listening to hear writing take shape

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

Speak it out as you would write it, basically. Don't just summarize an idea, actually speak out how it would go. #teachwriting

Q5 - How can students use speaking to revise their writing? Effects or results? #TeachWriting

RobynHartzellpd Feb 14 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4: What if the Ss told a partner a story and the P wrote down key words or phrases? could be used to start a draft #teachwriting #edu6389

Q4 - How might students help themselves draft/compose using speaking? How would/did that affect the results? #TeachWriting

Such an important point. The process is different for every writer. This is the value in sharing our own writing. #teachwriting

In reply to @skeeTX

During mini lessons, we sometimes use it to say how the writing might go. Turn & talk w partner. #teachwriting

A5 - This is a big question - I think we've already mentioned how kids can use reading work aloud to edit/correct. #teachwriting

I want originality and for Ss to have their own voice, not mine or what I demand as a T. #TeachWriting

In reply to @ShelfieTalk

After writing in the air, during workshop, they take that and translate it into writing. #teachwriting

In reply to @JBarcelos11

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:34 PM EST

A5 Have a partner read their piece to them. Truly clarifies the “sticky” parts because P won’t understand/be able to read #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:34 PM EST

A5 - I'd like to do more with this, because I think the kinds of thinking we do when we hear something help us revise better. #teachwriting

nangur1 Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4: Ss can compose podcasts or readers' theater. It makes their writing come alive by conveying emotions with the voice. #teachwriting

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

A5 - Hardest thing sometimes is to get kids to revisit something that already feels "done." Too much "work." #teachwriting

skeeTX Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

A5: Ss should listen to their drafts either alone or have partner read to them. Many don't want to do extra work #teachwriting

MsKraushaar Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

A5: have someone else read your writing. They don't know "what it's supposed to say" so their stumbles=changes to be made #teachwriting

Mrs_Giordano Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

I’m so glad it’s not just my 6th graders! I often find this to be the hardest part of revision, for them and me! #teachwriting

In reply to @bkuhl2you

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

A5 - I think having them read it aloud makes it a little less "work," a little easier, though they can be reluctant to share. #teachwriting

christyvalyou Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

it can also be challenging to spend enough time studying simple mentors kids might try to emulate, too. #teachwriting

Many Ss still see revision as simple edits to get done quicker. #teachwriting

I've done this a few times, reading student work aloud. Easy to auto-correct, but not always helpful. #teachwriting

A5 Talk is helpful when students work with a partner and they can articulate what they want support with/ feedback on. #teachwriting

mardieteach Feb 14 @ 9:37 PM EST

A5 #teachwriting - Talking about the writing afterwards can help Ss appreciate their writing - important 2 celebrate! Give positive feedback

bkuhl2you Feb 14 @ 9:38 PM EST

A5 - Anyone ever tried a "share the best part" strategy? Thinking about how that might help them revise. #teachwriting

emilyfranESL Feb 14 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4: sharing/listening to family's traditions can provide a different point of view to enhance writing! #teachwriting

A3: have students record a video of their thoughts using @Seesaw then other students provide feedback/ideas to include in writing

mardieteach Feb 14 @ 9:39 PM EST

#teachwriting - Yes! After a quick-write or a journal entry we 'share the best part' - could be a sentence or more.

In reply to @bkuhl2you

A5 - Sharing student writing - and sincerely praising it - does so much to encourage positive effort, culture of learning. #teachwriting

A6: Reading writing how it deserves to be read. When Ss ask me to share their work for them, I give it the 5 star treatment #teachwriting

A7 Aside from recording/dictation devices, recording someone while they share is great. Facial expression, hand gestures, etc. #teachwriting

A7 - Most cell phones have a voice memo, and if they can upload music to their phone, they can get a voice memo off (usually). #teachwriting

JBarcelos11 Feb 14 @ 9:49 PM EST

A6 Having kids choose what they read with Author's Chair requirement for quarter or semester might alleviate a bit of stress. #teachwriting
