Push for Journal Writing: James Britton Transactional Writing (80% of writing and how students are evaluated). Doing more does not make it better. If you don't know your topic, you won't be good at writing about it. Poetic Writing (10%) Expressive Writing (5%) Writing about thoughts, metacognitive. Increasing students doing this type of writing helps them write better.

One of our writers refers to this aptly as a "slow live blog."
