This chapter reinforced the following key points for me:
1. Sharing stories is important, which helps one get their writing going.
2. It is so important for our students to see us write. I know that it is a little scary for me to write in front of them, but they enjoy it. I will continue to model and share my writing with them.
3. Poetry is a great way to get the students to write to express their thoughts.
4. Students grow to be successful writers when they write for an audience.
5. Take time to celebrate their beginnings, them trying something new, their stories!
6. Let them choose their topic that interests them in order to get some great writing.
I also enjoyed the topics that were listed on p.26-27 to use with my class. They look like topics that they could all relate to and I look forward to using them in my classroom.
