HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1984-06-06, Page 5ere DUBLIN AND AREA June is the month for 9rads Correspondent JOAN CRONIN 345-2772 The only way I can describe this past weekend is PERFECT. Beautiful sunny days with a slight breeze to make the dandelion fuzz float through the air (to someone else's lawn I hope) and rain in the evening to make the berries grow. It was such a delightful sight to see the young and old outdoors frolicking about in summer apparel in comparison to earlier in the week when we all looked like frozen Eskimos. Most of the garden seeds are up and the farm crops are looking super. With warm sunny weather like this one can almost see the corn grow. June is a month which brings about a great many important events. It brings to a close another year in the life of a student and we all hope a successful one. But, first there comes the'exams and study and the all night cram session the night before you write. There is also that all-important graduation . from Kindergarten to grade one and from grade eight to high school. To go from Kindergarten to grade one, it is a continua- tion of one's childhood but to take' that huge step from grade eight to grade nine ends the fun and childish era and puts these students into the category of young adults. They now become the focus of attention, they are makers and followers of fad and fancy, are placed under the tension of peer pressure while caught in the hassle of trying to accomplish the goals that others have set for them rather than finding out who they are and where their capabilities lie. For some at the end of grade eight they must say good-bye to friends they have had for the past eight to nine years as some of the Dublin graduates will attend Mitchell High and some will attend Seaforth High. For others it is their graduation from high school and on to college or university and for others it is time to find a place in the workforce. For the University Graduates who have completed their long sought after goal in life -- they must now take their place in society and make their mark on the world. To all those who are graduating this month or have done so last month, may we congratulate you all and wish you the best of luck in the future.

The major emphasis ,through all these writing stages are the five steps necessary to produce a story. Ms. Abbey says the first step to writing a story is a rehearsal of the actual story. At this step, the student thinks or talks out the idea of a story. Once the idea is thought out, the student puts it down on paper as the tirst draft. From the first draft there are revisions, editing and in the end publishing. It's at the editing stage where correct spelling and punctuation are introduced. This is when the teacher demonstrates the proper way of spelling and. structuring sentences. She says the "publishing" stage for these young students usually means their stories are put on display for others to read. She grammar are not totally ignored. calls this method of teaching writing, "the For many children writing starts with lines most e>Sciting thipg to hap en" since she age can write stories. And although their style of writing may not be what adults are used to, the stories tell of an idea, and that Perth County's primary consultant says is the most important thing in writing. Sharon Abbey says the method of teaching children to write is changing. During the past year, seven schools in Perth have been used as pilot projects to teach children to write at the kindergarten to grade 3 levels. A young author's conference in Stratford recently was the culmination of the pilot project. The major emphasis is getting ideas on paper, rather than stressing correct spelling and ,grammar. However. spelling and and circles they draw on a piece of paper. And although the children have to translate their code -like idea, to them it is a genuine story. In technical terms this stage of writing is called preprint literacy and can range from scribbles to random alphabet letters strung together to represent a word. One sample, ABDF which to the writer means daddy. From the pre-print stage, a child reacnes the e •rgent literacy age which usually start en the child is in either late kind+.. ,en or eel ly grade one. At this level, individual letters or a small group of letters can represent words or phrases to a child, Children are a to write R for are and lvd for 1 have a dog. The third stage is early literacy. Words written by the children start to resemble real words. Some examples are BRD for bird and LOOKD for looked.
