Building on the recommendations of the National Commission on Writing, authors Vicki Urquhart and Monette McIver introduce four critical issues teachers should address when they include writing in their content courses:. Creating a positive environment for the feedback and guidance students need at various stages, including prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing . Monitoring and assessing how much students are learning through their writing . Choosing computer programs that best enhance the writing process . Strengthening their knowledge of course content and their own writing skills The authors also provide 35 classroom strategies, practices, and handouts that teachers can easily use in most subject areas or grade levels. From prewriting guides and worksheets to instructional guidance and analysis, the strategies offer realistic options to help teachers tailor writing assignments and instruction to the needs of each class.Teaching Writing in the Content Areas is more than a primer for teaching the mechanics of writing; it is a research-based guide to regularly engage students in writing that pushes them to express themselves clearly, to explore new ideas, and to become critical thinkers.Language artsCorrelation with content subjectsEnglish languageComposition and exercisesStudy and teachingLanguage artsCorrelation with content subjects.English languageComposition and exercisesStudy and teaching.808.042071Urquhart Vicki1950-1494691McIver Monette1964-1494692MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783578803321Teaching writing in the content areas3718402UNINA
