Skype classroom - Writing Project

‘WRITING,’ the word itself reminds me of the letters, characters, and scripts and of various other synonyms. It is such a complex and multifaceted blend of skills altogether. However, indeed writing is a process and not a product. Hence, various steps are involved and followed in order to create a refined piece of writing.

Therefore, I planned for global collaboration and a team teaching to help my students get more acquainted with this process. I am grateful to Christopher Tozier, an author of the book Olivia Brophie and the Pearl of Tagelus, for such a noteworthy collaboration.

My class had two informative and engaging sessions with Christopher, where they gained a good insight into the process and the various other elements involved in writing. Through these sessions, they even became more aware of what it means to be an author and the patience, thought process a writer goes through. Indeed, it is not an easy job to gather your ideas and sequencing your thoughts. Well, Christopher and I planned the sessions really well in this direction for our students. We gave our inputs/feedbacks on the drafts created by the students. We will continue to work and collaborate this year until each student is able to refine his or her own written piece and is ready to publish their work as well.

As an educator, I am sure that by the end of this session, students would have developed the skills of writing and will be able to produce their written work independently.
