Apologies for the redundancy to my Portfolio Implementation. Overall the lesson went well because I had the support of the textbook. I normally do not teach writing using this strategy, however I do see how teachers can use this to scaffold the tasks which would build success for the students at every step. I was challenging to do it with my colleague because she was able to piece the activity together vs. a student who might struggle in areas. This lesson would probably take me twice as long if I had done it with students. I feel the speed and fluency rate at which students vs. an adult writes is so different. I would have like to see a lot more verbal discussions and generating of ideas so that teacher guidance would be at a very minimal level. There was a sense of easy and accomplishment once the frame was completed together.
