The Writing Bin
Description: The Writing Bin CD is the outgrowth of a vision first expressed by Susan Norwell, MS. ED, to Learning Magic at the 2006 CTG conference. Susan is an internationally recognized consultant who has worked with a wide range of children for the past twenty-three years. Susan saw a need for a collection of easy to use templates as well as finished activities that would allow educators to create and use self-selected writing activities with their students. Based upon that initial concept, Learning Magic, Inc. continued to work with Susan and an expanded number of educators and industry experts in building a series of writing templates to provide teachers with several different levels of scaffolding (i.e. vocabulary support) for students at different cognitive or writing levels. Additionally, field testing and research was done simultaneously to ascertain what subject or content areas should be addressed in the initial finished activities. All the activities and templates are accessible to students using switches, both single and dual. In addition, custom IntelliKeys® overlays for each type of template are included and attached. Here is the overlay from the Writing - Scaffolded templates, both with and without lead-in pages. The Writing Bin finished writing activities can be used with the (included) ITAN Player, but the full version of IntelliTools Classroom Suite® v.3.2 is needed to create new activities using the templates, or to modify the finished activities. You will need Overlay Maker 3® to print out the IntelliKeys® overlays, which are already attached to both finished activities and templates, if you choose that method of access. The Writing Bin Sneak Peek As we developed The Writing Bin, we field tested activities built in prototypes of the final writing templates. Many of these were posted as Goodies, and we have used your comments on these in refining the interface for the templates and the content and scope of the example activities that you will find on The Writing Bin CD. You can still download and try out these prototype activities. Be aware that the format for these Goodies often differs slightly from the finished final activity included on the CD.
