From the readings from this week and last week, I have learned so much about how to approach writing with my students.  After reading the articles I went to my classroom and had a discussion about writing.  Just like the articles say students want to write but do not want to be told what to write.  I explain to them that there are reasons we have to write about certain topics and how we learn from those writings.  I also explained Journal writing to my students and they were really interested in this.
