Lesson 2: SEL in Writing Instruction
Lesson 2: SEL in Writing Instruction
Mini Lesson:
As most educators know, many students can be resistant to writing. However, through the promotion of SEL students can think about themselves and reflect on who they are. Utilizing SEL within writing instruction can allow students to open up and become more thoughtful about the writing process. The most common way to integrate SEL into writing is through the use of reflections.
Reflections are short writing pieces that allow students to think about their identity and who they are as people in order to respond to a prompt.
To do
Watch the video below that highlights how a teacher is integrating SEL into her writing instruction.
Now that you have watched the video, reflect on what you noticed worked well in this lesson.
If you can, try to brainstorm a few grade appropriate reflection prompts you might want to try out in your own classroom. Make sure you are keeping track in your notebook!
