    The task of teaching writing is also teaching writing for public consumption, and teaching writing for public consumption in the network society means teaching writing and publishing as being inseparable.

      So they were going to a WAC/WID curriculum? Makes sense.
  • a coherent, well-turned paragraph
  • the essay questions were just too difficult. Many would simply write a sentence or two and shut the test booklet.

      So they just didn't know how to think? No one had taught them to think. Cf. Philips-Exeter and the Harkness table.

      The skills underlying good writing--not just formalism?
  • To be able to think critically and express that thinking, it’s where we are going,”
  • the importance of formal writing instruction
  • constructing personal narratives, memoirs, and small works of fiction—
  • write informative and persuasive essays.

  • Students’ inability to translate thoughts into coherent, well-argued sentences, paragraphs, and essays was severely impeding intellectual growth in many subjects

  • "It is strange that we expect students to learn, yet seldom teach them anything about learning."
  • "We should be teaching students how to think. Instead, we are teaching them what to think."
  • "Many 17-year-olds do not possess the 'higher-order' intellectual skills we should expect of them. Nearly 40 percent cannot draw inferences from written material; only one-fifth can write a persuasive essay; and only one-third can solve a mathematics problem requiring several steps."

  • Critical thinking can be described as the scientific method applied by ordinary people to the ordinary world.
  • Critical thinking is a learned ability that must be taught. Most individuals never learn it. Critical thinking cannot be taught reliably to students by peers or by most parents. Trained and knowledgable instructors are necessary to impart the proper information and skills.
  • Critical thinking means correct thinking in the pursuit of relevant and reliable knowledge about the world.

  • Whether one views these changes as positive or negative depends on how closely one believes writing should adhere to the conventions of formal writing we have hitherto accepted, and how much one supports the goal of establishing the student's authority as a writer. Some writing instructors philosophize that since e-writing tools and e-language will continue to change, they must teach what will not change: the connection between thinking and writing and the ability to articulate what one knows (Leibowitz, 1999). This standpoint will certainly encourage teachers to continue seeking more effective ways of using the e-tools in writing instruction.

      Really? Hmmm. The Writing About Writing folks must be doing something crazy with all those writing process assignments that ask students to reflect on their own writing habits and attitudes.

    "Journal Submission Guidelines NCTE publishes twelve professional journals, including at least one for each membership section. Volunteer editors ensure that the peer-reviewed content is of the highest quality and is relevant to the lives of NCTE members and subscribers. Because these journals are all published through different volunteer editors, the submission guidelines vary for each: * Classroom Notes Plus * College Composition and Communication * English Education * College English * English Journal * English Leadership Quarterly * Language Arts * Research in the Teaching of English * School Talk * Talking Points * Teaching English in the Two-Year College * Voices from the Middle"

paperless English teaching

shared by Cindy Marston on 17 Mar 09 - Cached
  • paper management questions are logical, legitimate questions to ask, I will suggest that as teachers we should be asking instead, must we continue to think of our role as paper creators, paper controllers, paper graders?  
  • Essay writing skill is one of the greatest gifts I can help my students to achieve.  I am not willing to change that belief but I have become quite willing to embrace changes in the way the process looks. 
  • I have stopped seeing work as stagnant…completed and submitted by students and then graded by me.
