Teachers need to compel writing There are five writing constructs in compelling writing: Developmental tasks (how) Transactional Expressive Poetic (for purpose and audience) Process Model (when: pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, sharing, publishing,presentation) • Writing Workshop - integrates all

Teacher role in compelling writing • motivation • assumptions that student writing is worthwhile • methods given • discipline (deadlines) • ethos (craft, community of writers) • content ( information and detail rich) • energy • relationship • attitude • goals with authentic assessment (Giacobbe, 1981)

Teachers need to enable writing There are four basics needs for good writing: Substance or content – ideas, information, thought, feeling Skills – parts of speech tools, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, usage Structure – sentence architecture, form, organization Style – diction (choice of words, vocabulary, syntax with juxtaposition, voice, tone) Help students with what they are writing—model, guide practice, apply independently

Writing Workshops wrap all these together Writers need time Writers need their own topics Writers need readers and response Writers learn mechanics in context; Young writers need to know adults who write Writers need to read Writers need relevant mini-lessons. Writers need respect and interest Writers need practical research materials and tools: dictionary, internet, thesaurus, etc.
