Alison Davis, Effective Writing
Chapter 8, Celebrating and responding to writing
The key ideas:
- Having a clear purpose and audience for writing is highly motivating for students, and involving them in determining this is an effective way to build motivation.
- Students can learn a lot about writing through investigating their own and other's writing.
- Maintenance of skills and strategies for writing is an important aspect of everyday class practice.
- Allowing students a choice in writing activities provides an incentive for involvement and an interest in writing.
- There are a wide range of possibilities in the creation and celebration of writing.
