[LIT] role modeling

[Bill IVEY]

Hi!

I believe that, alongside the one-on-one and group work we do with our
students, role modeling behaviors we want them to emulate can be a
powerful teaching technique. This isn't all that difficult to do with
reading - but I find it more difficult with writing. What with everything
else going on when the kids are writing, I only very rarely have a minute
to sit down and write alongside them (as Nancie Atwell describes in her
work). I'm wondering how you all go about role modeling yourselves as
writers for your students. Thanks!

Take care,
