Product Description:
This guidebook helps teachers regularly engage students in writing by encouraging students to express themselves clearly, explore new ideas, and become critical thinkers.
Key Ideas:
Building on the recommendations of the National Commission on Writing, the authors address four critical issues for including writing in the content areas. They are:
- Create a positive environment for feedback and guidance to students
- Monitor and assess how much students are learning through writing
- Choose computer programs that best enhance the writing process
- Strengthen content knowledge and writing skills
