Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing. By the Writing Study Group of the NCTE Executive Committee, November 2004 Just as the nature of and expectation for literacy have changed in the past century and a half, so has the nature of writing. Much of that change has been due to technological developments, from pen and paper, to typewriter, to word processor, to networked computer, to design software capable of composing words, images, and sounds. These developments not only expanded the types of texts that writers produce, they also expanded immediate access to a wider variety of readers. With full recognition that writing is an increasingly multifaceted activity, we offer several principles that should guide effective teaching practice.
Everyone has the capacity to write, writing can be taught, and teachers can help students become better writers Though poets and novelists may enjoy debating whether or not writing can be taught, teachers of writing have more pragmatic aims. Developing writers require support. Writing is a process. Daily Writing Prompts. As always, The Teacher's Corner is looking for ways to make your life easier.
We hope that our newest addition, “Daily Writing Prompts,” does just that. On as many days as possible, we have selected an event from our monthly event calendars to be the focus of the writing prompt. These writing prompts can be used in a number of ways: Daily warm-up activity Practice in prompt writing for state assessments Daily/weekly writing prompt “Anytime” activity Student work center “When You’re Done” activity Substitute teacher activity One added advantage to TTC’s “Daily Writing Prompt” is that they can easily be displayed through an LCD projector in your classroom.
This eliminates time you would have to spend at the copy machine. You will find that our prompts are written for different grade levels.
