Status of the Class
I don’t recall whose workshop I heard it in, but someone mentioned the idea of maintaining a “status of the class” chart so that you always are aware of where you’re students are in the writing process. If you Google “status of the class” a lot comes up… The following, though, is the way I created one of these charts today when I returned from NCTE and needed to visually see where my kids were with regard to their personal essay drafts.

I used to do a “status of the class” board with my grade 5’s, but have worried it wouldn’t be good for my grade 3’s and 4’s because some of them are so
s l o w and I am not sure they have a choice in that. 🙂 I have been thinking, however, that this might motivate some of the kids who seem to think that time isn’t important. Maybe if they see how far behind they are compared to the others it will help…
OK…you talked me into it ! :p LOL
