Analyze at least three words from the writing sample to support your thinking:

the
world
island
based
on
sound.
She
spelled
the

4. If needed, which spelling methods and punctuation methods would you use with this writer? Why?
Spelling
methods:
My
students
words
that
are
misspelled,
and
spelled
based
on
how
they
sound
are
largely
words
that
are
not
spelled
phonetically
in
the
English
language.
These
words
include:
island,
house,
friend
and
when.
Punctuation
methods:
In
a
morning
message
or
interactive
writing
passage
we
could
focus
on
spaces
in-between
words.
Students
could
be
required
to
place
their
fingers
in-between
words
when
writing
sentences,
or
editing
a
sentence
that
needs
larger
spaces
in-between
words.
Otherwise,
the
writer
uses
punctuation
accurately.
MEANING
&
SEMANTICS
5. What
do
you
as
a
reader
need
in
this
piece
of
writing
to
better
understand
the
writers
ideas?
What
already
works
well
in
getting
the
writers
ideas
across
or
meeting
the
writers
purpose
in
this
piece
of
writing?
(e.g.,
Engaging
language,
detailed
information,
clear
organization--
Strengths!)
The
students
writing
is
very
organized
and
follows
a
common
theme.
The
student
created
a
list
that
is
numbered
and
titled.
The
students
list
is
titled
What
I
Want
and
she
provides
a
clear
list
of
things
she
wants
written
in
complete
sentences.
The
student
gives
good
detailed
information
about
what
she
wants.
She
could
have
simply
created
a
list
of
single
word
wants,
but
instead
she
wrote
20
complete
numbered
sentences
describing
her
wants.
What
is
almost
there
could
you
focus
the
childs
attention
on
to
make
the
meaning
clearer
or
the
purpose
stronger?
I
would
encourage
the
student
to
communicate
her
list
into
a
different
genre.
Although
she
wrote
in
complete
sentences,
a
list
limits
the
detail
she
could
provide.
I
would
encourage
her
to
write
about
her
wants
in
a
paragraph,
story,
letter,
or
poem
so
that
she
could
also
write
about
why
she
wants
the
items
on
her
list
and
what
she
would
do
if
she
had
them.
6. Recall books you know. Which type of text(s) would make good mentors for this student?
The
reason
you
would
use
a
particular
type
of
book;
how
it
would
help
this
writer?
I
would
choose
childrens
books
or
poems
about
wants
characters
have.
Three
childrens
books
that
come
to
mind
are:
The
Pigeon
Wants
A
Puppy-
Mo
Willems
Hug
Me-
Simona
Ciraolo
I
Wanna
Iguana-
Karen
Kaufman
Orloff
(Writes
letter
to
Mom
about
wants)
I
would
choose
childrens
books
or
poems
because
my
second
grade
student
really
enjoys
pictures.
I
believe
the
images
in
these
books
would
interest
her.
Furthermore,
these
texts
or
other
childrens
texts
about
wants
and
dreams
would
provide
examples
of
different
genres
on
the
same
topic
my
student
wrote
about.
How
you
would
use
this
type
of
text(s)
to
develop
stronger
writing
from
this
student?
I
would
show
the
writer
different
genres
of
writing
about
the
same
topic
my
writer
wrote
about:
wants.
I
would
encourage
the
writer
to
communicate
the
same
ideas
she
wrote
in
her
list
into
a
different
genre
of
writing
such
as
a
story,
poem
or
letter
like
in
the
examples
Ive
shown
her.
I
believe
these
texts
would
help
my
student
become
a
stronger
writer
by
elaborating
and
adding
more
detail
to
the
ideas
she
generated
in
her
list
by
communicating
them
in
a
different
way,
which
requires
elaboration.
