Slow Writing - Literacy Across the Curriculum Part 1 A New Hope IV: Slow Writing / Deep Reading / Thoughtful Talking I have done my first INSET session this week and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. In fact, I was very scared. So scared that I would make a complete fool of myself. It didn’t help that I had man-flu at the same time. Slow Writing Deep Reading Thoughtful Talking Some of these ideas are adapted from other people's ideas. I have designed a three year plan for improving Literacy. With writing in mind, I then thought about what our main priorities could be. In the past (when I was in school) • Mostof the writing done in school. • Reading mostly done at school. • Didn’t usually write at home unless you had homework or a pen pal - sadly, I never had one. • Read if bored and the weather was bad and nothing on TV. Now… • Some writing done at school. • Some reading at school. • Students writing at different times of the day on Twitter, Facebook and mobile phone. • Students are constantly looking at phone throughout the day.
