Writing Help From Mellanay P. Auman, an eighth grade language arts teacher at Utterback Middle School in Tucson, Arizona: ìI have found that color-coding each worksheet through the writing process (multiple drafts, etc.) helps my included students keep their ëpacketsí together. I teach them this method with our first writing assignment and by October, they tell me that they ëseeí the process better. I don't want the students to become human Xerox machines, either. So, the questions and peer editing review questions change from one sheet to the other. Again, this helps manage the workload when I am evaluating a piece of writing from start to finish.î |
