The ability to write is essential for students in every subject area.The Content-Area Writing School-Based Seminar guides teachers strategically through the two major types of writing that every student must know—Writing to Learn and Public Writing.
Participants explore and practice various lessons for encouraging growth in both types of writing with subject-specific ideas for planning, organizing, and teaching. In addition, they study samples of student work and guidelines for evaluation and assessment. They also discuss different ways to use the lessons from Content-Area Writing and strategies in the writing process, how they can be used in writing workshops across the curriculum, and how they prepare students for testing and other on-demand writing situations.
