In Grade 4 students use models and templates for writing. This unit is about reading word problems and writing solutions. It explains the difference between the Who? What? When? Where? How? of the news report format and the If-Then-Go-So pattern of problem solving. This format is expanded in later grades and acts as a foundation for expository writing (essays) of all sorts. It is the pivot on which Science, Math and English are Core Subjects.

Experience

I have had a wide range of teaching experience from non-readers to first year university writing.

Teaching style

I start with the curriculum and then try to fill in the gaps as they come up. And they do come up. I invented my colour code for teaching grammar because my students were a) terrified of grammar and b)had forgotten everything that they might have learned. I found that students who were having difficulties in math had vision or hearing problems, or reading/writing problems. A lot of the mystery comes from not recognizing the kind of difficulty.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My own students credit me with teaching them grammar, or getting them through school, or helping them to get work.

My own education history

The best bit of advice that I received was this: The student takes three times the amount of time that the teacher does to complete a task/test. Always take your own test to find out a) how much time to allow for the student to write and b) how much space the student needs to complete the answer.
