13. Reflections???

Process writing in the 1980s – freedom in writing with the hope that students would learn how to write by loving the process of writing – result; many students did love writing but actually didn’t learn how to writeRules like grammar were left outProblems were often unidentified – and students would struggle later on in lifeThe lesson learnt was that writing must be intentional and lessons around writing had to serve an intentional purpose Writing needed to meet the needs of young people and in order to help them develop further – writing had to skill children with the rules and techniques for successSo it had to address needs to be future focused
Well – two experiencesWorking with Alt Ed students in Wpt – digital storytelling and place-based youth development; students were engaged but ….Working in faith-based settings where Friday night is either all about spiritual development or providing nothing more than a hang-out for youth; with kids smoking on the outside
So,Write down the some aims of programmes you have been involved inOn a balance scale – where is the intent – is it in the intervention side or the development side
