Types of Thinking & Writing
• Descriptive
• Analytical
• Reflective
© Professional Teaching Development Center at CSU Fullerton, 2008
Descriptive Writing
• What? Which?• State, define, describe what
happened• Retell in a logical, clear manner• Sequence the Events• Paint the Picture!
© Professional Teaching Development Center at CSU Fullerton, 2008
Analytical Writing
• How? Why?• Analyze, explain, connect,
interpret• Diagnose and look for patterns• What is the significance of the
evidence presented?• What does it all mean?
© Professional Teaching Development Center at CSU Fullerton, 2008
Analytical Writing
• What are you “noticing” with regard to student thinking?– Are you able to determine what students
know and don’t know based on what students say, write, draw, and do?
– Are you linking what students say, write, draw, and do to your instruction?
– Are you linking what students say, write, draw, and do to lesson objectives?
© Professional Teaching Development Center at CSU Fullerton, 2008
Analytic Writing
• How are you analyzing?– Are you treating the class as a
whole, or are you able to discriminate between groups of students in class
– Are you able to distinguish degrees of knowing amongst students? What they know and what they don’t know?

Reflective Writing
• What now?• Thinking about . . .• How will you improve, change, re-
teach, build upon the featured lesson, etc.
• The direction for future action!
© Professional Teaching Development Center at CSU Fullerton, 2008
Reflective Writing
• Go back to what you “noticed” in your analysis– Are your recommendations based
on evidence (what students said, did, drew or wrote?)
– Are your recommendations consistent with improving achievement of the stated lesson objectives?

Putting it Together
• All three types of writing work together to paint a complete picture of a particular learning sequence and your thinking about it.
• All three types also revolve around the effective identification and use of evidence

Ready, Set, Go!
• Start WRITING!Describe, Analyze and Reflect!
• Start VIDEO TAPINGProvide the Evidence!
• Demonstrate that YOU are an accomplished teacher and YOUR impact on student learning!

The Written Commentary
• You MUST be able to articulate WHY you do WHAT you do in your classroom, in the featured lessons!
• Present evidence that you are an accomplished teacher using Standards and the Five Core Propositions!
• Tell the story of your teaching!

Avoid Written Commentary ‘Pitfalls’
• The Soapbox Orator• The Philosopher• The Invisible Teacher• The Telepath

INTERACTION! INTERACTION!INTERACTION!
• Your video should authenticate the quality of the learning through the interactions that you provide for your students as you described in your written commentary via your DESCRIPTIVE, ANALYTICAL and REFLECTIVE writing!

Camera Anxieties
• It’s not about YOU!• It’s not about the IDEAL lesson,
classroom or group of students!
• It is about what teachers really do, what really happens in the classroom with students!
