It requires students to really hone in on the content while simultaneously learning how to add details to their sentences.

From my experience, students are not able to transfer what they learned about grammar into their writing when it is taught in isolation. Just because they know what a verb is and that a sentence should begin with capital letters, doesn't mean they will write coherent sentences in their essays.]]> 2022-07-11 15:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241126558 Principle 4 https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241126861 Giving the students a sentence stem and use one of the strategies using the conjuctions because, but, and, so.

Students need to gain confidence in being strong writers so that they feel motivated to practice and express themselves in writing. ]]> 2022-07-11 15:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241127136 https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241127275 Students are given the opportunity to understand that writing is fundamental in all subjects! It is a life long skill.

Sentence-level writing should not be dismissed as something too basic for older students.
Teachers should continue to assign sentence-level activities even after students have moved on to paragraphs and compositions.
Quality is more important than quality.]]> 2022-07-11 15:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241129217 https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241129349 Students should practice their writing skills on topics embedded in content as soon as possible.  Writing is a powerful TEACHING tool for students and teachers because it allows both to figure out what was and was not understood and what further information may be needed.  Writing allows students to synthesize the information they learned and make their own interpretations.  They also better absorb content knowledge and vocabulary.  Lastly, writing helps students deepen their understanding of the content in their memory. 

ALL teachers are writing teachers so content area teachers should all utilize these strategies in their classrooms. Although it should be done daily, it only takes 5-15 minutes through Do Nows, Exit Slips, etc. ]]> 2022-07-11 15:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241129349 4 Steps https://padlet.com/ltrobaugh/r7ddm4c4w0yxi1gz/wish/2241129692 1.
