1. After reading the article one thing I learned that as a writer grows they need to talk about what they are writing to their colleagues. I also learned it is not necessary to wipe out the a student's family's use of words. Another thing learned was to teach writing excellence means adding language not subtracting it.
2. One fact I found interesting was to move students to more flexibility when they not not totally change the way they write. Another fact I found very interesting was when the article said the goal is to make more relationships available. I find this to be a great point and not telling students to do away with their dialect but learn more about language to make more relationships.
3. How can I help students to understand they need to expand on their language to improve their writing and never lose their local dialect?
