Understand the Importance of Writing for Students with Readable Writing

Author : Tundung Memolo

In a lesson, writing is an activity that cannot be separated from reading or speaking. After a person has read, he must be faced with writing activities, either simply summarizing, doing practice questions, and telling stories in written form.

 

However, it is unfortunate that many teachers still think that writing is not an important activity. This means that when a student is able to solve a problem by speaking or issuing his idea, it is considered complete.

 

In fact, there are other aspects that have not been touched, namely writing.

 

It could be that a student is good at telling stories, but it turns out that when he is asked to write it down, he is not able to. Not being able to here can be interpreted that the writing is so bad.

 

Even though it is not enough, when students rely solely on speaking, without being balanced with writing. Conversely, good writing must also be balanced with speaking skills.

 

Therefore, writing activities cannot be separated from speaking activities.

 

Realizing the importance of writing in writing that can be read by the eye, the teacher should familiarize students with writing.

 

For example, after learning students are asked to rewrite it. After reading, students were asked to summarize.

 

Even if students already understand the material, students are still asked to write it down. Because this is related to writing habit.

 

Don't let the students' writing be unreadable.

 

The illegible writing in this chapter has the following meanings:

v Students writing are always late compared to other students of their age, even if their writing is good

v Student writing is bad and illegible

 

Writing in the learning process is very important, even as important as the importance of learning.

 

Because writing is likened to an arrow or net that will be used to catch prey. For example, if we are about to hunt deer in the forest, suddenly the deer is in front of us, if we don't catch the deer with arrows or nets, then how can we get the deer?

 

A good teacher should pay attention to student writing problems. For example, when we have written on the blackboard, don't let the student just see and read our writing, without him wanting to copy it in his notebook.

 

Not only that, we should also ask students to organize the writing in a special notebook if we provide unique, relatively extraordinary, or complex questions and answers.

 

Because for complex questions without neat and well-organized writing, it is impossible for students to remember how to answer the questions we give.

 

Do not also let students write on sheets of paper whose edges will be lost in the fire.

 

If we estimate that when the problem is complicated and requires a long answer then if students copying takes a relatively long time, then we should have typed it or written by hand and then we distributed it to students. This can save time in class lessons.

 

If we find that the student is lazy to take notes, takes too long to take notes, or writes badly, then we try to make an improvement. The trick is to give homework notes to students by knowing their parents. We need to give an understanding of the importance of taking notes.

 

Then we take the problem to the parents, to pay special attention to taking notes. We continue to give note-taking exercises until the child is fluent in taking notes, good writing, and is not lazy in taking notes.

 

It should be noted that fast and good writing really helps students' learning success in school.
