ORIGINAL POST Welcome Type 1 and Type 2 writing This year, LRES decided to implement the John Collins Writing Program. Luckily, it has worked successfully in our classroom! There are actually 5 "types" but type 1 and type 2 are used the most. Type 1 - Type one questions are just to get students thinking about an idea- these responses are a simple brainstorm. -Students are not graded on their responses but are given a check mark with a plus or a minus for great effort Type 2 - Type two writing counts as a quiz. Students are asked this question on curriculum material taught from the day before or even earlier. The question is usually a concept I go over a great deal. This is a quick way of assessing their knowledge on the topic. - These responses are graded like a quiz. Please let me know if you have any more questions!! « back | comment »
