Case: Creative Writing
This has been going on for some time. Some of the students in my 7th grade English class cannot distinguish between school writing and everyday speaking. They write like they speak. A lot of my students are African American, and they tend to use Ebonics in their writing. I have been trying to correct their writing errors since the beginning of the school, which was three months ago, but they still continue writing like they are speaking. I talked to the other English teacher at school to see how she deals with this issue if she has it. She said she did not pay attention to the writing errors if students were doing creative writing. I disagree with her. Even in creative writing, students should follow the rules of the language closely. The main problem is almost all of my African American students are failing my class while that is not the case with the other English teacher. Should I reconsider my position on this issue? I feel like my position shows high expectations; but I am not sure any more.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have the students brainstorm ideas, and write a rough draft before they write the finished product. Allow students to trade papers with another student in the class and make notes on the paper of errors they see in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Also have the students make suggestions of ways they can make their writing better (e.g. fluency or elaboration). The students can trade papers with three students in the class to get different feedback from their peers. The students could then revise their writing, using their peer revisions as a guideline. The students can do this for many types of writing activities, and eventually only trade on time or make their own revisions. The teacher will still monitor and give feedback as well. |

| Comments: Good solution, although technically there is no "standard" English. Perhaps allow them to write like that when they are doing creative writing (I agree with the other teacher on that), and when you are trying to get them to learn about punctuation and grammar. |
