Module 8 Children's Book

After reading the article, "Children's Books as Models to Teach Writing Skills," there were many important aspects of teaching writing skills in this article. My biggest take away from this article is the importance of teaching children organization skills before and during their reading. As said in the article, "Conventions allow the writer's piece to clearly express a message." Many student's especially kids have a lot to say when talking about a particular topic, especially if its something they are interested in. Organization skills help children to write their ideas clearly and is an easy way for students to create a more organized paper. I feel the article should have mentioned more about organization methods. Such as Venn diagrams or creating outlines before writing. I feel organization is one of the most important parts of writing a good essay or story.
