This student was working by herself and completely focused on writing on the chart. She was copying words and sentences from a book which the teacher had recently read.
T–Can you tell me what are you writing?
S–My teacher read the story to the class and I liked it so I’m writing some words and some of the story. I want to remember the story and I like to write.
T–Can you tell me what some of the words say?
S–No….I don’t want to…I want to write!
—at which point she went back to her writing task!
There is some great information here. I like finding sites that get you to thinking. Thanks for the share.
