I learned a lot about idea development. Now that I think back to my school day I don't remember being taught idea development or maybe I just don't remember. Either way I thought the idea's that Dr. Harris presented to us were great. I find it helpful to write things down and ponder my thoughts. Normally I would sit there for a long time before I could figure out what to do. When I started writing things down, at first it was slow but then thoughts just start flying out and ideas come easier to me. Presenting this idea development to my students will help them become better writers and teach them the process of writing. I also think this helps them keep there ideas organized and not all scrambled.
To generate ideas; there are several different kind of method's you could use. You could take a walk, list your ideas, watch a movie, listen to music, even just by having group or individual discussions you could generate a lot of great ideas this way. Even just sitting in a quite room by yourself would be sufficient enough. Maybe by evaluating what type of learners you have could help you see how your students will generate ideas best.

Five word's that would describe me:
Considerate
Thoughtful
Fun
Social
Active

Considerate- I like this one because not a lot of people are considerate. I like to think I put others before me or at least I consider them in my thought process. Especially my family. I find it easier to do stuff for others first then myself. Some times it is hard but that fact that I do it that makes me very considerate. I do have my days that I think I may be selfish but once out of a hindered times isn't bad.
(I find this hard to write or weird, I feel like I'm bragging. But it's part of the assignment:)
