Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) – uses other students to support peers as well as the obvious point of teaching students to monitor/regulate themselves.
Stresses the importance of flexibility and modification of both teaching and learning styles.
(page140-142) Teaching Children =
1. Think – who will read this? – Why am I writing this?
2. Plan what to say –Use SPACE
Setting, Purpose, Action, Conclusion, and Emotions
3. Write and say more
Or - a. Think of a story that you would like to share with others
b. let your mind be free
c. Write down the story patterns (*W-W-W) What=2 and How=2
4. Make notes of your ideas for each part
5. write the story – use good parts, add, elaborate, revise as you write or afterwards, and make sense
*#3 (w-w-w) = mnemonic = When and where does it take place? who is the main character, and who else is in the story? What do they do or want to do? What happens when they do it or try to do it? What happens to each character? How does it end? How do the characters feel?
(page143-144) Stages of instruction =
1. Develop backround knowledge
2. discuss it
3. model it
4. memorize it
5. support it
6. independent performance
(be sure to know your students and adjust these steps accordingly.)
(page156-158) Overall concepts of SRSD =
1. Emphasizes collaborative learning (support each other)
2. Individualization of instruction – (understand students strengths and how they learn)
3. Instruction is criterion based –not time based – students learn at different speeds
4. Anticipate and plan for glitches (difficult areas) – adapt lessons = flexibility
5. Enthusiastic teachers working within a support network. – speaks to a combined effort on the teachers part to support each other and present the material positively.
6. Development enhancement– how does this lesson fit into the larger scheme of things.

The Introduction." <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN6IOSMviS4>.
Ultimate intro = how to write a good introduction: 4 reasons for a good into
1. Good intro makes entire paper easier to write
2. (better for the reader to follow - Gives the details up front
3. Order of the argument
4. Give each detail
Out line - Make a grabber (get their attention)
1. Joke – might make reader- at least it grabs their attention
2. Use a Proverb or Quote –something that everyone’s familiar with –
Ex. I am always ready to learn, but not always ready to be taught (churchhill)
3. Anecdote- start with something profound – when I was young, we were poor…
4. Surprising fact -
Ex: A did u know 1 in 2 people are female? Ex: B Diet soda may cause cancer
5. Curiosity – do you know how to make a million dollars?
Topic– (subject)
Give reasons – three is a good number – must be directly related to topic
(Main ideas) – you can rearrange it easily by using this outline
a
b
c
Thesis–(argument) reason why or what I want u to understand or change ur mind about
Ex: why you should buy this car
(first determine - do you approve or disapprove and then you can start)
1- positive or negative
2- w5 = who,what, when, where, why and how
3- strong statement -
RELATED– (grabber, topic and thesis must be related)
Ex: grabber – alls fair in love n war
subject - fighting (power, hurt and solution)
argument – fighting is the only way to heal the world (us strong words like only, use superlatives)
Power- fight for what we believe
Hurt– only when u get hurt can u discover what’s important
Solution– you will protect that solution at all costs

"How to Write an Effective Essay <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWqMQ26Gqi4>.
Write by first asking a question to get a clear picture in your head – ask a question and then answer that question. – the answer is your starting point.
“what does my reader want” – helps you get specific – focus on your target
1. ask a question
2. thesis statement (answer the question) – must be clear and strong = stated
3. Introduction (+thesis) –say what you want to tell them; do it interestingly
4. Body = proof of your thesis – main reason, supporting reasons
a. Main reason (three main ideas)
b. 3 supporting ideas (for each – total of 9 supporting ideas)
5. Conclusion

Storyboarding for writing – take raw material and put in into a structure like a manuscript
(how to patch independent pieces of writing together)
3 act structure = beginning middle and end (like a play; ex: act 1 scene1)
(note I can use this for my “Memior” writing)
Find the 5 most important parts… she has it shaped the a W… one point for each part of the letter W. (represents the rising and falling of the action)
1. (act 1)Triggering event (discovery, birth, death, etc…) – the MOST important part
2. First turning point = down motion of the W… low point of the book/bottom out
a. Opposite of what the reader may have thought
3. (act 2)Conflict or second triggering event-
4. Second triggering point = things are worse than the first and all hope seems gone
a. New hope is introduced as you move toward act 3
5. (act3)Needs to show a new perspective – AH-HA moment – then a revolution
Go through the misc ideas and place them into this “W” structure.
Ex: negatives go between steps 1&2 or 3&4 -
Positives go between 2&3 or 4&5
Make the storyboard fun by using bright colors, pictures and things that allow communication with little reading. – add to the
board as new ideas come so there is less pressure and they must be flexible enough to change and evolve.

This video lists 5 main focus areas on how to
write a good essay.
1. Introduction
2. Reasons for (let reader/audience know that u know what u r talking about)
a. Or c/b main reasons for and against (main reasons)
3. Reasons against (same, prove your knowledge,& offer balanced perspectives)
a. Then c/b subsidiary reasons for and against (secondary reasons)
4. THE MOST IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH = the CRUNCH
a. Back-up everything you said
b. Back-up/prove your points – cleverly
c. You point out the opposing point of view and then crush that idea by proving your perspective…
all previous info should lead up to this…
i. Use quotations to support your argument
1. 3 sentences per quote(1-establish, 2-quote, 3-explain/apply)
ii. Summarize, paraphrase or allude
5. Conclusion – KISS – keep it simple stupid… just reprove your perspective… Be careful not to open up another topic.
Plan the essay first – plan what not to say in the beginning. It allows you to keep each paragraph relevant to the initial
question and also to build up to “the CRUNCH” – which allows the reader to stay focused (as well as you while you’re writing it) to stay focused on the main argument/idea.
Overall, make your ideas personal or strong
