In Grade
5, we had the great opportunity to have a Regie Routman writing consultant,
from our school division, come in and teach our class about how to write
non-fiction text. We learned how to
gather information and sort through that information in order to enlighten our
audience about the Fur Trade. The
Optimal Learning Model taught my students and me how the writing process works –
and how, as a teacher, I can teach it to them.
It was an amazing experience and I look forward to using in my own
classroom one day.
