HD 445/645 - Writing Our Stories: Reflections on Literacy Development

Institution:

Pacific Oaks College

Subject:

Description:

Pacific Oaks students bring a breadth of diverse life experience to the college. They learn through telling and writing their stories about these experiences and develop in-depth knowledge through reflecting on them with others. To be effective in facilitating young children's beginning writing, teachers must have experiences themselves with writing. They must model literacy behaviors, by writing where children can see, scribing children's words, and representing children'splay in writing. Writing Our Stories will bridge between the kind of writing that people may be comfortable with before they entered the program with writing that encourages people to express their own culture through writing. Students will practice reflecting on this writing with others to discover how they became literate writers, and what their stories can tell them about what they have learned from their experiences.
