The Seven Steps to Writing Success
A fast, successful system, the Seven Steps breaks down the teaching of writing into the seven main skills. 'Chunking' makes writing easier (and far more fun) to learn.
Imagine this...
- A group of students. Their heads are close, they are talking fast.
- They are vibrant, engaged, interested.
- All are contributing ideas. One of them is listing stuff rapidly on a page. The others are talking even more quickly.
- Suddenly the teacher calls: 'Four minutes to write!'
- The brainstorming stops.
- The kids scramble to their tables.
- Out comes the paper and the pens are snapped up!
- Four minutes is all it takes. No hesitation, no resistance, ideas flow... and dead silence... save for the clicking of pen to paper.
That's what a Seven Steps classroom looks like.
Now used by teachers in 1/3 of Australian schools, the Seven Steps writing program has proved to raise NAPLAN data by 1-3 levels in less than a year. Why? It's all about being creative and having fun in the writing classroom.
One of the best PD's I've ever been to. Will remain with me.
