Kamealoha's Reflection

Kamealoha’s Donald Graves Reflection

I thought that reading the first chapter of Donald Graves’s book was very interesting. I really liked the way that they use detailed examples. I think that this helps me to understand the situations better. I am like Brian. When I write I am always cutting and pasting and rearranging my thoughts. I think that this helps me to write better.

I think that it is important for teachers to motivate students to write. I love the idea of asking questions to get them to think about their writings instead of telling them they should add this or do that. I think that a child should feel like they are in control of their writings. I think that this is going to be a great book to help us to learn more about being a better teacher of writing.
