The Writing Revolution - Peg Tyre - The Atlantic - 1 views

shared by Kelly Brown on 24 Sep 12 - No Cached

The school’s success suggests that perhaps certain instructional fundamentals—fundamentals that schools have devalued or forgotten—need to be rediscovered, updated, and reintroduced. And if that can be done correctly, traditional instruction delivered by the teachers already in classrooms may turn out to be the most powerful lever we have for improving school performance after all.

  It is all about balance. Some students need more help with understanding how to write. Others need less. I would not want writing to be reduced to a formula but we need to have ways to support student in their writing journey. It is hard to write well if you believe you cannot write because you lack success. The focus needs to be on what students need in the format that they need.

  So now the proverbial pendulum is threatening to swing back, back to the basics of writing instruction. Is there a way we can learn from the mistakes of our past over-reactions and consider the possibility that both the technical and creative aspects of writing can (and should) be taught? And that the qualities and skills involved in both can (and should) be taught explicitly and through immersion in the best examples of each genre.

  One strategy to use with ELLs is to provide them with sentence starters, similar to the ones the teachers at New Dorp are now using. The SIOP Model, a way to create lesson plans that encompasses strategies that support ELLs, benefits not only them but all students as well.

When students write deeply, about ideas they care about (in this case, books and reading), their voices organically begin to take shape. Their words start to sound like them and represent them as readers, but more importantly, as people.

Not to say that writing for a teacher contains no value, it does, but when a student writes for an audience of 100 or 1,000, neat things start to happen. The ownership they feel over their words increases.
