Chalk Talk: Teaching Kids to Write
When students first begin writing non-fiction texts in the earliest grades they are encouraged to write what they know, which means that they are encouraged to write about themselves. Encouraging students to do this establishes problematic writing behaviors that many students take into college. The problem with encouraging students to write about themselves is that they don’t have the self-awareness or the writing skills that they need to write successfully. Students know themselves well, but they don’t understand how others see them. This leads them to write autobiographical content that makes sense to them, but might not make sense to others. Instead of encouraging young students to write about themselves, teachers should encourage them to write about other non-fiction topics. Eventually, after they have developed better self-awareness and writing skills, students can write about themselves.
