Knowledge and Skills Statement

Composition: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts--writing process. The student uses the writing process recursively to compose multiple texts that are legible and uses appropriate conventions.

Revise si las composiciones de los estudiantes incluyen hechos ilustrativos y significativos que apoyen las ideas presentadas, así como detalles convincentes que desarrollen las ideas presentadas en el borrador y que enganchen al público potencial. Si los hechos son muy vagos o no son suficientemente específicos, el desarrollo se queda en lo superficial y el escrito no es efectivo.


Further Explanation

Esta actividad de evaluación implica que los estudiantes tomen un primer borrador y que trabajen en el desarrollo de hechos y detalles que reflejen su profundidad de pensamiento en un texto interesante y bien pensado.

Student writing should reflect a deeper level of thinking and go beyond simple or surface-level ideas. A more thoughtful approach or analysis and careful consideration should be expressed in the student's writing and will improve with multiple drafts.
specifics, ideas, facts, or points included by an author that contribute to the author’s purpose and message
Students are expected to support and elaborate on their ideas using facts and details. Careful selection of compelling facts or particularly illustrative details reflect the student’s depth of thought on the topic. Students should select facts and details that help a reader better understand the ideas they are attempting to convey. When students do not provide specific facts or details to support and elaborate on ideas, the development of the composition remains superficial and unengaging.
a detail or idea that can be shown and verified as true or to have happened; a statement that can be proven with data, observations, and reliable sources
As students develop their rough drafts, they bring focus by narrowing their topics and refining their writing. Students write their topic sentences, add relevant details, and determine the most effective way to organize and present ideas in a manner that best reflects their intended purposes. The order and logic of the writing should help the reader follow it.
Algo que puede ser demostrado como verdadero, que existe o que ha ocurrido; afirmación que puede ser comprobada con datos, observaciones y fuentes confiables.

Summary: In this study, Klein and Rose examine how students respond to various writing tasks and assignments. The teachers used the process writing approach, which included creating an outline, drafts, and a final paper. The revision and edit process lends itself to implementing teacher and peer oral and written feedback. The study reveals that there are specific as well as varied means to teach the writing process to students. Students must use prior knowledge and have access to relevant external sources (i.e. internet).
