Writing Equals Learning
Why Writing to Learn?
When integrated throughout your lessons, writing is one of the most powerful learning strategies. Writing to Learn in Non-ELA Classrooms provides a framework and strategies for planning and using thought-provoking writing to learn strategies throughout a lesson to increase learning in all academic disciplines. Learn specific types of writing tasks that will engage students, in all contents, in thinking about and demonstrating their learning through writing.
New expectations emphasize the importance of shared responsibility for students’ literacy development across all content areas. With the current emphasis on content-area literacy, students must write daily and in every lesson. Students who are frequently expected to write increase their learning and achievement significantly. With Writing to Learn in Non-ELA Classrooms, you gain the knowledge and skills to embed writing in every lesson, increasing the depth of understanding of all students.
