Teacher Process
Task: We all know our students have trouble with the writing process. You will assign each group one of the following: prewriting, writing, editing, revising, and publishing.
Your task, if you so choose to accept it, is to teach the steps of the writing process then assign the students their WebQuest Project. The topic is a persuasive essay on uniforms in school.
This will be an individual assignment for each student.
You will need to provide the class with examples, appropriate worksheets, and a grading rubric.
Process: We all know that teachers dread teaching writing. It is one of the tasks that many are not comfortable with. With this process, it is broken down to help you teach persuasive writing in Phases!
Phase I: Background Discuss with your class about their view on school uniforms. Define Persuasive writing and the writing process.
Phase II:
Looking Deeper Begin working with your class on their PreWriting. Every student should fill out a graphic organizer from their stance on uniforms in school.
Phase III: Writing Once your class has finished
with their prewriting. Spend some time discussing
writing the rough draft. Then have you students
write the first draft!
Phase IV: Become an Expert Editing!!!!! Have a hand
out with the proofreading marks available for your
class. Do peer editing making sure students sign the
one they edit in order to get credit! Have students
then write a second draft and you edit them. If
there is time, do student/ teacher conference with
each student to discuss edits.
Phase V: Revision Have students then write a
second draft and you edit them. If there is time, do
student/ teacher conference with each student to
discuss edits.
Phase VI: Publishing This is the final section of
writing. You can decide how you would like the final
product your students produce to look like.
