    Avoiding ambiguous and meaningless grades ("quiz 5") and replacing with skills-based assessment. Heavy PBL focus.

      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

  • ­roughly 40 percent of students are poor, a third are Hispanic, and 12 percent are black
  • Her decision in 2008 to focus on how teachers supported writing inside each classroom was not popular.

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.

  • This requires not only knowledge that people have thoughts that are different from our own (basic Theory of Mind concepts) but that they also can narrate a story across time and/or sequence so the reader can follow and make reasonable conclusions to avoid confusion (this is called narrative language). They also have to recognize that people move from ideas (gestalt or main idea) to thoughts (details). To help the reader the writer has to organize his information so that he introduces his idea and then supports it with a reasonable set of thoughts (details).

      Big ideas are not enough by themselves - they need details in order that the reader can understand.
  • 1. Teach them how we brainstorm information related to the topic we are going to write about. Most 2nd grade students learn about "brainstorming" through the use of what are called, "graphic organizers". "visual organizers" or "mind maps". This lesson needs to be extended for our students and taught much more extensively.
  • 2. Learn to tell the difference between ideas or what we call in writing "main ideas" and how these are different from "details".

  • 3. Work on pruning their thoughts they brainstorm by creating written outlines to serve as guidance for their work.4. For high school students, learn how to talk understand what an "opinion" is.
  • To motivate students to engage at this level of thinking and showing their thoughts by creating visual structures such as graphic organizers or visual outlines, we would provide them a grade for there production of these visual thinking supports. Thus, rather than receive a grade for the final written product, they would receive a grade for creating the graphic organizer and then the outline, etc.
  • By allowing them this time to work on thinking away from working producing written work allows all of us to re-focus and tune up the core skills of writing.
