Beliefs about Writing (NCTE, 2016)Initial thoughts….• Writing grows out of many purposes• Writing is embedded in complex social relationships and their appropriate
languages• Composing occurs in different modalities and technologies• Conventions of finished and edited texts are an important dimension of the
relationship between writers and readers• Everyone has the capacity to write; writing can be taught; and teachers can help
students become better writers• Writing is a process• Writing is a tool for thinking• Writing has a complex relationship to talk• Writing and reading are related• Assessment of writing involves complex, informed, human judgment

Easy way to make an artifact: Pablo
• Go to Pablo and put a literacy quote on it! • It is web-based and also a Chrome extension• https://pablo.buffer.com/ • *I will demonstrate this.
• Click on “Groups”• Then find your Discussion Forum• Click “Create New Thread”• Cut and paste your response into the window• Post early• Formal replies vs informal replies
Post in the Correct Place!
Formal replies-responding to other’s initial posts
• Part B (Replies):– Following response posting, candidates will return to the discussion board to read and reply to at least three peer’s responses. Label replies as Reply 1A and Reply 1B, etc. The format for the reply part of this assignment is as follows.
• • Personal Connections: Why did you choose this posting to
respond to? • Discussion: What questions or comments do you have for the
author of the response posting? • Extension: How can you extend the conversation on this
posting? (Share specific resources, experiences, etc.)
Pause for questions or comments so far….

Final personal piece
• 2-3 pages minimum, single-spaced• Narrative, expository, or poetry• Can be multi-genre• I encourage you to use images• Examples are on Blackboard in several places• Consider using Smore.com
