Week 4:Lessonplan

Dear all,

It has been a taft but interesting week. Personally, I traveled home last night to a place in Chile near the mountains, buy anyway I am doing my best to be connected.And so far so good I have been able to connect today. Fingers crossed.

First of all, I read all the material suggested for this week, and it has been very helpful for my professional development.
In my University we are very devoted to writing, so the article"Process writing and the Internet" has given me interesting tips about how to enhance the writing process.
Taking into account the article,there are three things to consider at the moment of plannig a lesson:Pre-writing,peer revision and teacher feedback(Ferris and Hedcock, 2005).
Something else I learned is that we have to consider;needs, worldview and social background of the students. I believe we have to consider the previous factors to propose topics for writing. And we should not forget they are part of the social network(Dudeney and Hockly, 2007).
Well, blogs are very useful tools to promote writing, the same as Ning. But I have never used Ning I hope in the near future to have more time to explore it.
keeping in mind all the above,technology enhances the lesson plan, but we have to focus on the objective and then choose the best technological tool.

Looking forward to your comments,
Cheers,
Laura from Chile

    Hi Laura

    I agree with your perception.In my understanding the article"Process writing and the Internet:Blogs and Nings networks in the classroom" makes us clear how can we use web-based social network to teach students writing.

    Thanks

    Hi Laura,

    Yes, it is very important to understand both students' needs and social background. Once you consider them, your teaching materials and tools will be more focused and to their needs and level. It would be unfair not to mention that through this course, I learnt much about my students' background information so that I could select what is necessary for them to enhance their level of English.

    Cheers,
