Gilmore 5-7

Me and test writing don't get along at all. I tend to panic if there is more than a paragraph expected. It takes me very long time to get my ideas organized and out of my head. I rarely have time left to follow Gilmore's steps. I sometime try and follow those steps as write taking up more to time and making me lose some of the ideas that were trapped in my head. What is Gilmore's advise those students, those who are good writers but the pressure and fear test inhibits their ability? How do I approach students like myself? How do I differentiate between those students and those who don't try, when their mistakes look the same? I agree with most of what Gilmore suggest what about those who have trouble? I can see that this paragraph is full of unanswered question but I guess that's what the text suppose to do, make me think.

I already discussed my thoughts on revision using technology but this chapter does make me see how important the use of technology is to improving students writing. Mainly because it teaches me the effective ways to do so through, while still making it fun. This chapter did answer a vital question: How do you approach revising creative writing? How do you ask a student to revise something so personal? her methods are great in allowing the student to keep the authenticity of a their writing. The teacher can help the students improve their use of stylistic expression, while strengthening their writing. I think that Gilmore's are helpful to show that students can express themselves even better through revision.
