Question: What are five
principles of effective writing instruction often mentioned by experts?
Answer: Guiding
Principles of Effective Writing Instruction
>
Principle 1:
Effective writing instructors realize the impact of their own writing beliefs,
experiences and practices. [What are your
writing beliefs, experiences and practices? Take a moment and write them out. RayS.]
>
Principle 2:
Effective writing instruction encourages student motivation and engagement.
>
Principle 3:
Effective writing instruction begins with clear and deliberate planning, but is
flexible. [What format does “clear and
deliberate planning involve? Brainstorming? Outlining? Thesis sentence? Free
writing? RayS.]
>
Principle 4:
Effective writing instruction and practice happen every day. [Important to develop the writing habit. RayS.]
>.
Principle 5:
Effective writing instruction is…collaboration between teachers and students. [Be the guide by the side. RayS,]
Comment: Not sure what all this means. Probably just publishing rather than perishing. Principle #1 is useful. The rest of the principles are BS. RayS.
