Three more writing posters for my teacher resource expo…

I’ve added three new–freely downloadable–classroom writing posters to my Sail the Seven C’s Teacher Expo .

** Here is a short tour of the Expo and its current collection of resources. [More are being added every week.]

A couple of ways to use the quotes…

• Print out and project onto the whiteboard, but block out key words or a phrase, such as, in the example below, ‘self-doubt’. Let your students fill in the blank.

• Pose the question, “Have you ever felt the surge of momentum like the faucet Louis L’Amour refers to?

• Say to your students: “Let’s talk about the blank page. Does anyone have any strategies to get past that uncomfortable moment…minute…hour?”

How does respected ESL teacher Larry Ferlazzo use photos for instruction?

Here is a quote from his resource-filled blog:

http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/

“My personal favorite is using photos using the Picture Word Inductive Model. As I described briefly in my recent New York Times guest post, and in my book, it’s an “inductive learning process where students first brainstorm twenty words related to a picture, then put those words into categories and add new ones that fit those categories. Next, they complete a “cloze” (or fill-in-the-blank) activity with sentences about the picture which are then put into categories of their own. They convert those sentence categories into paragraphs, and, finally, arrange the paragraphs into essays.”
