I am not sure if I’m doing this correctly, but I am assuming that this is what was meant by “respond to” the “puzzle.” It seems the video is emphasizing the importance of students being aware of the writing skills they are developing and learning as they are learning them. In other words, there is a natural connection here (when it is done well) with the utility approach. Students need to know that they aren’t just spending their time and energy on work to please their instructor and get an A, but that they are cultivating skills for their future. In order to do this, it’s important to contextualize writing instruction to embrace students’ past experiences – both positive and negative – with literacy. This is what I ask students to do in a literacy narrative. In terms of reflection, or “exit writing” tasks, I like the approach where students visualize their future and how writing will play a part in getting them to where they want to be. I think I’ll try to incorporate that into my lesson plans.
