I will like to thank  Mrs Lazarus for giving me the opportunity to experience my first poetry gallery. It was my first time participating in any gallery exercise. I must say the experience was breathe taking, listening to the soft music to relax us, walking around the class reading and understand what each poem was telling us and relating the poems to our own experiences was very meaningful. Snacking on the nuts and tiki to rejuvenate us from the first period. What a wonderful experience that was! This experience will remain with me for life, my first gallery experience. Being part of this experience had bought the thought to me, that I can use this activity with my students to display their writing pieces and other work done. In this way, the students can get to see each others great work and get ideas from them to help improve in weak areas if there is any.  Also, if this activity is done it will be meaningful to the students because they will be using the different modes of Language such as reading each other work, writing by taking little notes of what they observe, speaking to each other, discussing and ever complimenting one another on their work. They will be viewing by looking at each others work and finally they will be listening to each other. I think if a work gallery is done the students will love experience. From this experience I have learnt that the teacher does not always have to talk to bring out or teach a lesson but there are other means and ways to bring cross the message and main points by just looking.

  The Power of Persuasive Writing                                ( https://www.tes.com/lessons/AAQePU0y_fXBcw/persuasive-essay ) I must confess that classes on persuasive writing was very intriguing and had left me to ponder on my school days. As I reflect on my secondary school days this made me that my teachers mainly focused on descriptive and narrative writing rather than on persuasive writing. In previous courses, I have done persuasive writing so I had knowledge about it. But now learning about persuasive writing in other ways. This has now opened up a whole new perspective for me. The moment I realized I was missing out on persuasive writing was when our lecturer Mrs Lazarus gave us an activity and we had to share.   I must say when Keida and Erica presented this, it was my breaking point. The way they bought life to persuasive writing left me speechless and made me realize I was missing...

From this experience, I can try this activity with my students upon return to ...

  The Writing Process The writing process is very important to students because it helps them to understand literacy.   It will improve the students’ writing skills and help them to become better readers. The writing process is a tool that makes writing a successful experience for all students.   Students’ composition skills will develop through literature focus units and themes cycles as they participate in the writing process.   When children use a process approach to writing, they are less likely to plagiarize from books because they have developed their compositions step-by-step from prewriting and drafting to revising and editing. The writing process  creates opportunities for students in each and every class to work through ideas in writing, to articulate their thinking by writing and to polish and refine ideas in written form.  The writing process will help students to see writing as a medium for learning rather than writing as a polished product....
