Of course this is the way my ECE students express themselves with "writing" and while I verbally express to them to consider me as their reader, I have not done a good enough job SHOWING them what I mean. I consistently ask for details and I often model drawing and my thinking process as I do, but your idea to show them a visual rubric is such an AHA for me. For me, your artwork rubric could be expanded to show writing too. My team has always struggled with how drawing as a form of expression for our students diminishes as writing progresses. Your work shows it shouldn't and that it can be an integral piece to understanding and expression. I think it also feeds into a way for us to praise their effort in order to build confidence which will hopefully trasfer to other learning concepts and tasks. Your work is also a powerful reminder to slow down and remember that honoring the process is most important and sometimes it takes time to develop.LeslieHaltinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933517810936586988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435602697257165304.post-21191581020207748812014-02-10T16:19:59.293-08:002014-02-10T16:19:59.293-08:00The AHAs you shared here and at the meeting are so...The AHAs you shared here and at the meeting are so valuable. Taking it slow seems like common sense, yet we often feel pressure to move on/faster. I will remember that slow is going to prove most valuable. Designing the rubric with the students gives them such ownership and deeper understanding of what they need to do/how it should look.<br />I salute the handwriting/concept integration--they are really owning all of it! And, WOW, so glad that you noticed that he was so much more engaged. What a great lesson for all of us to reflect upon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739172908386891698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435602697257165304.post-70863840990267740542014-02-08T07:24:40.784-08:002014-02-08T07:24:40.784-08:00I think that's great that you were able to get...I think that's great that you were able to get such thoughtful work from your students. I've always been a believer in teaching young children how to draw. They get really used to having people praising them on every scribble and it's a powerful way of raising expectations and showing them the importance of their drawings as a way of showing their thinking; especially when they are still learning how to express their thoughts in writing. I think the idea of slowing down is also really important. I'd love to see your drawing rubric, I've created rubrics for drawing in the past, but I've been lax this year in pushing my students to put more effort in their drawing.
