I created this comic strip to demonstrate how a teacher models the thought process of writing to students. “Teachers need to make the writing process public to children. For example, rather than pre-writing the morning message, write the morning message with children at circle time. A teacher can engage in self-talk to explain her/his thinking about writing as s/he writes the morning message” (Bingham, Gerde & Wasik, 2012, p. 3). In this comic strip, the teacher creates the morning message with his students and asks his students for some input on what to write. The students are able to view the thought process of writing as well as practice skills that they have learned.
