I got this from library. Title is called "Helping Student become better writer" by Thompson, Christine Love.
1. The articles I chose is called "Helping Students Become Better Writers" by Christine Love Thompson. Thompson wrote that she was a teacher who make student prewrite, draft, revise and publish (Kappan 57). Thompson really believed that a good paper have to be grammar free. What Thompson discovered was that it takes day for students to finished a product. "Most students didn't have the stamina or the motivation to labor through all the stages" (Kappan 58). Thompson review her own method. Thompson developed her own writing check list. "The checklist included content with a focuses on writer's techniques" (Kappan 59). The checklist included interesting introduction, figuratie language, metaphor and idioms (Kappan 59). The story should have beginning, middle, ending and focus on vocabulary to make the story more exciting (Kappan 59). Thompson was really trying to get the children to write from their point of view. Thompson also has the students peer read and she found it help students on their own writing. "Writing programs that encourage students to use their voice, rather than emphasizing mechanics and conventions tend to increase students awareness that writing is meaningful and individual (Kappan 60). Thompson advices for other teacher is to emphasize more on quality, content, creativity and writer's craft: what is the story the student is trying to write (Kappan 61). After reading this article, I realized that it sounds good. I feel that this is what we do in English 30E. We help student made plan on what to write and made student peer read each other.
