Topic/Skill: Outlining Composition Essay with 3 Subtopics
Class: Writing 2
In my second
classroom observation I observed a writing class for level 2. The task for
the day was coming up with an outline for a composition essay. Students worked
individually on their own outlines. The professor started the class by asking
if anyone’s power was still out from the hurricane. He then explained the task
of the day and let students know that their job was to finish their outlines by
the end of class. While students were working on their outlines he passed out
graded essays from a previous assignment. I could see that on each essay he had
written a short paragraph response in the margins for each paper. I got the
sense that in the short paragraph he responded to message of the paper in order
to create positive backwash that writing is communicative. Along with the
message he responded to the structure of the writing, giving feedback on
correctly meeting the requirements of how the writing was supposed to be
presented.
After he finished giving papers back he went from student to student and would
assist them in coming up with their outlines. I was impressed by the level of
focus he gave to each student. He was able to quickly formulate and give specific
and targeted advice, which seemed very
helpful for the student to work through formulating their outlines.
