Lesson notes (21st October - 3rd November)

WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
-          How to correct?
-          Main mistakes
Textuality and types of text:
-          Narrative: factual and poetic
-          Description: factual and poetic
-          Argumentative
-          Dialogic
-          Poetic
è Text. End products: report, e-mail, chat, stories…
We come from textuality and want to get the “end products” but not the analysis, just the products what is beyond.
The first step is to encourage our students vision. We also have to verify if a text possess textuality or not.


Features of textuality:
-          acceptability: recognized the text as a text
-          cohesion in grammar
-          coherence in semantic and meaning
-          intentionality
-          informativity
-          intertextuality: a text belong to a type and not to another (an e-mail is an e-mail and not a brief)
What to write?
> Free writing activities: when we work “free writing”, our students have to know that their texts need textuality and settle intertextuality patterns. Students have to be able to create products, as personal descriptions.
The second step is guided models. Students have to face the “free writing activity” with the patterns we give them. They have to use them as a guide and acquire the intertextuality of their free  models products.

Activities to teach/ learn write
-          Pre- writing, introducing-writing
-          Writing practice
-          Free writing : 
How?
- Using models as a 1st step
- 3Rs techniques à revision, reuse, reinforcement (1st + 2nd drafts)
- Using an evaluation writing code chart
- Right model of correction
- Mistakes / errors
- Expressions for correction:
è Favourable: congratulations, excellent, very good, good, much better, please

è Unfavourable: poor/weak work, you can do it better, try again, do it again, copy carefully, messy/untidy

è Neutral: colour in your drawings, underling, margin?, rule off, don´t use red ink, do not start a new page, use up this space, not in biro, write the date/title...


è Something positive: excellent margins, good risk, nice/tidy, well done, nice idea, I like it, nice spelling, good work…


WRITTEN COMMUNICATION

·         Definition
Written communication is the most thoughtful way of expression. Reading aloud means translating graphic signs into phonetic signs.

Differences between oral & written communication.

ORAL (global)
WRITTEN (is starting now to be global)

Fast / spontaneous
Time demanding
Let’s give to  our students
Coordination / yuxtaposition
Subordination
Review grammar and lexis previously
Easy / clear grammar
Complex grammar


Repetitive


Non-repetitive
Sinonimous/antonymous
Monitoring (using a code): self-repairments, peer-repairments, group-repairments…
Context dependent
Content dependent

Hesitation + echoing + feed back repairs: to organize thoughts and produce verbalization simultaneously

Punctuation..previous thoughts organization
- Discourse structure – what do we expect?
- Rehearsing
- Audience
- Message adjustment
Dynamic and affective function
Non-dynamic and non-affective function


è Fast/spontaneous (phatic function) ≈ reading aloud (methalinguistic function)
        ≈ expositions / speeches (any other function)

è Written is still on rehearse and research, it is changing these days dramatically and fast (sms, whassaps, e-mail… are new ways of writing)


Writing
·         It is not a natural skill, but post-natural / post-literate. We understand literature as a written ability, which is learned, which needs to be studied and it also needs some cognitive development to be materialize.
·         It is an active skill. It implies physical activity (graphic movement from our hand) and cognitive activity (mental)
·         Productive skill. It’s objective is producing a TEXT (with textuality)


Stages of writing

·         Cognitive stage: at the beginning it is an implicit process but later it starts to be an explicit process.
-          In the first years (6-8):
§  Grapho – writing – literacy
§  Letter word
§  Recognition

-          9 – 12 years old:
§  Internalization rules and categories
§  Previous rehearse
§  Monitoring
§  Message adjustment
§  Locating resources

-          12 +:
§  Avoidance/achievement strategies
§  Trying out
§  Building on previous knowledge
§  Compensating
§  Discourse structure

·         Practice stage: controlled or guided. Here teachers are focused just in verbalization and textualization.

·         Production stage: free production.  Here teachers are focused just in verbalization and textualization.
