After reviewing my earlier blog and the article on Expository Writing, I started to change my mind about some of the things I wrote earlier. Although the article offered good strategies on how to teach Expository Writing, I began to think that the lesson cycle included too much too fast. I wondered, how much time would be left for review? How would the teachers cater to the students who had difficulty in one area and not the other? Although I would still use some things in my classroom (the chart), I think for of their ideas are a bit "old school". For one, the vocabulary activities were a bit typical. I think there are so many different ways of teaching vocabulary that would have made it much more interesting to the students.
I still think the article is a great help for teaching expository writing but as I stated earlier, I'm concerned with the flow of the lesson and how it deals with students who don't grasp certain skills as fast as others.
