'An Abandoned House' is a descriptive piece which provides a vivid picture of what a deserted house looks like. This is one of my favourite pieces in my writing portfolio which was done for the course LIT 102: Promoting Writing in the Primary Grades.

Poetry

When I hear poetry I think of rhythm and rhymes, stanzas and lines. Poetry is the art of expressing one's thought. I enjoy poetry because you are free to write and express your feelings. I can vividly remember my little book that I used to write poems during my years at secondary school. One of my favourite type was Haiku which consists of three short lines that do not rhyme.

Emergent Spelling

The stages of spelling development was an eye opener for me. I am aware that students spelling develop over time, but I had no knowledge of students stages of spelling development. As we went into these stages, the characteristics of an Emergent speller stuck with me. This was due to the fact that I am able to make connections with my son. I am amazed by his performance thus far. He can distinguish between drawing and writing. In addition, he can write letters on a page as well as sound out some of these letters. Likewise, directionality was seen as he writes from left to write. I am so happy for this information because I am able to track my son's progress as he transitions through the stages of spelling development. This will also be useful, in observing students spelling development in the classroom as well so that I can work with them to ensure that they are at the level in which they should be.
