What are my influences in teaching writing?

Technology: with instant messaging, emailing, and texting within an arm's reach, technology will have a large impact on teaching writing. Because of this digital age, Standard English is sometimes put on the back burner to make way for quick slang and abbreviations.

Prior knowledge: students will come to my classroom with conceptions and misconceptions about writing. It will be extremely important to do diagnostic screenings of my students' writing ability.

My Personal experience: it is often found that teachers teach the way they learn. My personal experience with writing will have a large impact on the manner in which I present the writing process to my students. My interactions with teachers and professors have given me numerous ideas.


MUSTS:
-conferencing with students about papers
-Writing to learn activities
-Reflection
-Connection b/w writing and reading
-Focused freewrite
