    Return to Using Computers to teach writing Word Processing. If you focus on criticalthinking as you teach writing, word processed drafts can help you do so.  
    http://www.nmia.com/~nking/wordproc.html
    
    Extractions: Return to Using Computers to Teach Writing Word processing makes revision easy, whether the revision involves word tinkering or deep structural change. If you teach writing as a process of revision, as many of us do, then teaching students the mechanics of revision on a PC or a Mac makes good sense. Some studies have shown that word-processed writing is more likely to be evaluated on higher level concerns than on lower level ones, perhaps because some lower level concerns, like spelling, appear less frequently in a word processed document. The thinking that goes into the writing may lie exposed in a computer-printed draft more than in a handwritten or typed draft where mechanical errors and irregularities call themselves to our attention. If you focus on critical thinking as you teach writing, word processed drafts can help you do so. Word processing is the way students will be writing in the workplace. If you want your teaching to be relevant to the lives of your students, teach them word processing as a writing tool. Is there any proof that people write better when they use a computer? Well, there's been lots of research into this topic, but the jury is still out. This much can be said, however: ...as we in computers and writing have been diligently piecing together a range of attitudes about whether people write better on a computer or not, almost all people in the industrial world who do any regular writing have come around to using a word processor....That fact alone, which any of us can observe in any office place in the country, should support what anybody who uses a computer for writing already knows, that for most people it is easier and more productive to write on a computer.

    Extractions: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University-Blacksburg Extension has been plagued by the fact that many citizens avoid Extension publications because they're hard to read and use.1 Learning theory suggests a way to develop more effective written materials. Extension staff can benefit from understanding how learning theory can be applied in developing Extension publications.2 Below is a six-stage model for developing the text of a publication. Within each stage are critical questions that apply learning theory in the text development process. The stages are similar to the steps used in instructional design models because effective educational text requires a similar planning strategy to communicate the desired educational ideas. The model's stages serve as a time frame, while the questions serve as a guide to implementing the theories. The footnotes provide the sources for these learning theories and a more extensive article is available from me.

    http://www.teachyourchildrenwell.ca/Freebies/QuickWrite/lessons.html
    
    Extractions: Parents and teachers want their students to become adept at creative writing as a part of the skill-set they need in order to succeed during and after school. Often, when given a writing assignment, the student sits for long periods "thinking," but not producing much. When asked about the obvious lack of production, the standard refrain is, "I can't think of anything to write." An obvious case of writer's block. QuickWrite has 5 distinct phases. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes to complete once the students become familiar with it. They will do so in less than a week. Phases One and Two take exactly one minute each, Phase Three takes 5 minutes, and Phase Four takes one minute. The final Phase can vary depending on available time or can become a homework assignment. The timings should occur in succession as quickly as possible. The objective is to complete the entire task in 10 minutes or less. Timings should not be allowed to become races between students. They are personal best scores for each individual student. Avoid using "Get Ready! Get Set! Go!" Instead, use, "Ready, Please Begin, and Thank You."

Spalding (Contributor) The 5th edition by Romalda Bishop Spalding and Mary E. North will be available February 4, 2003. It can be ordered today. The first edition of this book was published in 1957. The Spalding method is similar to that of Montessori. For more detailed description, read the customer reviews at amazon.com. The newest edition makes explicit the insights and classroom techniques that were inferred in earlier editions of the text, making The Method easier to teach and learn, and making supplements and guides unnecessary. Spalding students learn the structure of the language, how to analyze literature, to apply critical thinking skills across the curriculum, and to apply what they have learned in their own writing. The fifth edition also explains how current research validates the multisensory, integrated total language arts methodology of The Writing Road to Reading.

    Extractions: Introduction Some reading approaches focus on teaching phonics explicitly during writing lessons. At the same time, they encourage the use of phonics, as needed by the learner, in reading lessons. The approach outlined in these modules was developed by McCracken and McCracken (1982) . It has been very useful in mother tongue literacy contexts in Papua New Guinea.

54. You Can't Teach Writing By The Numbers
    You Can't teach writing by the Numbers By Tina Blue March 19, 2002 I just finisheda tutoring session with Jane, a high school student who is taking English  
    http://www.essayisay.homestead.com/numbers.html
    
    Extractions: Actually, her college English teacher just retired from many years of teaching high school English. I wasn't surprised to hear this, since everything the teacher is doing in this 101 class screams high school . In many of my articles on this site I complain about teachers, especially those in high school and middle school, who force their students to write according to rigid formulas, but this particular instructor is even more fanatical than most about specifying the elements of the formula she wants her students to follow. You can see where such requirements come from, of course. She obviously is used to dealing with students who normally write in short, choppy sentences and who think a paragraph is sufficiently developed with two or three general remarks about its topic. Her requirements are intended to force students to combine closely related sentences into more complex structures and to make sure that they provide at least a certain number of sentences of development for each main point in their essay. But after examining her handouts and hearing what my tutoring student has to say about the course, I can tell that this woman has allowed her concern with numbers to get the better of her good sense. It is one thing to teach students to write longer and more complex sentences, but it is counterproductive to shift their focus from writing as meaning and communication to writing as a matter of counting sentence types.

    Extractions: E-mail It! Oversee practice so children don't fill a page with improper work simply to finish quickly. Praise letters and words written well and have the student erase and rewrite anything unacceptable. While this may seem time consuming, remember that it will actually take more time to undo bad habits. Young children should use large writing or painting tools for better control. Don't be concerned about letter size at first, instead, emphasize form, letting them draw on blank paper with easy-to-hold "fat" markers, crayons, or paintbrushes which allow less pressure to be used in drawing a solid looking line. Be sure the children use the same grip required later for paper and pencil work. For those children that insist on using adult pens and pencils, add a finger grip (available at many educational supply and office supply stores). Begin with lines and shapes, encouraging children to draw all vertical lines from the top to the bottom. All circular shapes should begin at the 2 o'clock position, moving up, left, and around-like the letter c. (Kids tend to start at the top and make egg shapes.) Shapes using straight lines-triangles, rectangles, and squares, should always use individual lines that meet, not a single stroke with an attempt to make "pointy" corners. Every line should be drawn left to right or top to bottom. Vertical lines are drawn first, left side, then right side, and then the connecting horizontal lines. The horizontal lines on top are first, and all horizontal lines should begin at the left. Kids have their own short cuts, so these basics do need to be taught.

    http://www.thewritingparent.com/jafmessing.shtml
    
    Extractions: Boost Your Income By Teaching Writing By Jennifer Anne F. Messing Income is a great motivator! If you keep on cranking out articles and stories day after day and continuously receive little or no financial compensation for your efforts, pretty soon, you may begin to doubt if freelance writing is for you. But even a modest additional income can bring a much-needed lift to your writer's ego. I have found that teaching writing is a great way to supplement your writing income, and to interact with your fellow authors while developing confidence and competence in your speaking and teaching skills. WHAT TO TEACH, AND WHERE "But what would I teach about?" you ask yourself. I would advise that you teach about a writing genre where you have received success. For instance, if you've had many personal experience stories published, you should teach a class about writing creative nonfiction. Give your class a catchy title, like, "Writing True Stories That Touch The Heart." If you've had numerous poems published, you should teach a class about crafting and marketing poems. You might call this class, "You Can Write And Publish Poems." At this early stage, you should write a 2- to 3-sentence description of the topics you would cover in your lecture. If you have answered the first and most important question, "What?" to speak and teach about, you can proceed to answer the next important question, "Where?" Where you're going to teach your class will later help you determine how to prepare for your class.

    http://www.eduplace.com/rdg/res/prevent/char/writing.html
    
    Extractions: Given the brief amount of daily instructional time available in each of these early intervention programs, teachers must make choices about where to focus their instruction. As noted earlier, these programs are not comprehensive language arts programs. The area of writing is a good example. The child who participates in an early intervention program still needs classroom writing instruction that focuses more pointedly on organizing and clearly communicating ideas through writing and in engaging in the full process of writing, including revising and editing.

    Successful academic computer scientists should all possess the requisite writingability to teach this kind of coursethe ability to recognize clarity, cogency  
    http://www.ics.uci.edu/~kay/pubs/writing.html
    
    Extractions: Abstract The author's institution requires all students to take one course that concentrates on writing at the upper division (junior or senior) level. The computer science department offers one such course, taught by computer scientists. It concentrates on communications issues relevant to computer scientists and computer professionals, going beyond traditional "technical writing" to give students experience in oral presentation, document design, and writing in forms appropriate for various audiences. This course takes advantage of analogies between writing and software development and motivates computer science students to pay more careful attention to their writing. Background Faculty often lament that their students lack good writing skills. Traditionally, computer science students take courses in composition offered by the English department during their first year and have few later opportunities to write extensively, particularly on topics in computing. In recent years the community of rhetoric and composition educators has addressed poor student writing by enhancing and expanding on traditional "freshman composition" in various ways, which computer science faculty wishing to improve students' writing might profitably explore. Endnotes Endnotes One common practice, known as "writing across the curriculum," encourages instructors in all disciplines to include writing assignments in their courses. Specialized composition courses alone, while necessary and valuable, leave the impression with many students that clear, careful writing is something only English teachers care about. Computer science departments have adopted this practice.
