[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm homeschooling due to the poor state of FCPS ELA instruction.

Just curious, for your kids who are DL at the public schools what does DL writing instruction look like?

My daughter is in 5th and our current writing assignment is being done done in stages. It has been 2 weeks of back and forth. We have just finished up our 3rd revision to the rough draft and are moving today into proofreading. Only now are we moving from pencil and paper to typing it.  We have separate Grammer lessons, but with my daughter in 5th we are really focusing on semicolon use for this exercise.

How does this writing process work for DL? I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Do teachers add notes into the turned in document? For me, at home, I make so many corrections in red ink. I don't tell my daughter the answers, but circle the issues...use question marks, wavy lines, star important ideas and such. Are kids meeting with teachers one on one and getting feedback on their writing? Seems quite difficult to so these hand offs online.[/quote]

You should go to Amazon and purchase a copy of The Writing Revolution. It will really help![/quote]

My 5th grader is working on one piece with his class and they are doing a 5 paragraph story. It seems as though they are working on a paragraph a week but they started by outlining the entire story.

I noticed that there was a lot of errors in grammar and punctuation. I printed out the story and went over the corrections but typed them in myself. I think it would be soul crushing to do it at 10..on an ipad.[/quote]

Losing family members is soul crushing. Losing a pet. Getting a disease. Witnessing abuse. Typing on an iPad is not soul crushing. [/quote]
