Through writing we sort out our thoughts, develop social networks, and participate in shaping and changing our worlds. Writing matters, and the teaching of writing has never been more important than it is today. Many groups and individuals have jumped into the conversation. In this video session we’ll investigate who they are and what they are saying. In addition, we’ll explore practices proven to support young writers as they develop competence and confidence with writing in various genres for varying purposes and audiences.

Description:
Why is it critical that students learn to write well? What strategies may be employed by teachers to engage learners and scaffold the writing process, as students write in a variety of genres? Dr. Rebecca Sipe, Associate Professor of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University uses her knowledge and wealth of experience that ranges from secondary teacher to author of the Zaner-Bloser publication, Strategies for Writers, to answer those questions.
This online course is based on Dr. Sipe’s presentations at the Gulf Coast Writing Conference, “Because Writing Matters: Drawing Upon Truths we Know for Sure” and “Writing for School, Writing for Life...and oh yes...Writing for Tests.” Join Dr. Sipe to explore what the research has to say about the importance of teaching students to write well and learn to develop extraordinary genre-based writing assignments.
