Attitude

! Implementation:

! For the students that doesnt enjoy writing, they need

that motivation for them to like writing.! An example action that helps motivate students would

be to create a writing assignment that gets the students

excited therefore change their attitude towards writing.

! To keep that positive attitude that the class have, I want

to create lessons that are engaging so that they dontchange their attitude towards writing.

! Since students do a lot of writing at home, I can

incorporate my lessons to have a homework section topractice more writing.

half feels nervous ordoesnt like sharing

their writing.

! Most of the class

prefers writing in aquiet environment.

! Analysis

! From the data, it shows

that even though thestudents like writingdoesnt mean that theywould enjoy sharing it toothers without feeling

nervous.!

None of the students

said that they feelcomfortable writing in aloud environment.


19/24

Learning Style! Implementation!

From the data, I can see that a lot of students feelnervous when sharing their work so to help them feelmore comfortable with sharing, I will have students share

with their side by side partner first then gradually makethe sharing group bigger so it is an easier transition forthem to build their confidence.

! Since most of the class prefers writing in a more quietenvironment than a loud surroundings, when doingwriting lessons I will make sure that the class is quiet andthat there are no distracting sounds so that they areable to concentrate on their work.

! There is always a student that disrupts the class, so inorder to keep the peace in the classroom, I will ask myMT to teach me how to create more authority in theclassroom so that students listen to me.
