Rethinking How to Respond to Students’ Errors
Chapter 13
What we have learned…
Teach grammar during writing process
Avoid using the “Red Pen”
Making corrections does little good
Lois Matz Rosen…
“Students are more likely to grow as writers when the teacher’s primary purpose in reading student papers is to respond to content.“
- Rosen’s “Developing Correctness in Student Writing: Alternates to the Error Hunt” (1987) (p. 149) (Weaver, 232)
Consider this Piece…
This is what the Teacher received….
So what do we do??
Weaver Suggests…
Emphasis on things the student did well
Offer help in editing
Teach conventions while editing
Explain how conventions help convey meaning
Ignite interest in student using their own work
Pretend you’re the teacher, what would you say to Chasity? How would you help?
Thank you- Brittany Vlaminck
