I enjoyed today's discussions on writing. I believe that an individual's writing is based on his or her social or economic background. One of the interesting points from the Society's Child is that when a student attempt a more difficult task such as a new genre, the student may appear to backslide. I know from reading my son's writing papers that it may appear as if he was backsliding. One day he will bring a paper home in which the story will have nice beginning, middle and ending with few mistakes in capitals and periods. Then when a new task is added to the assignment, he totally left out all punctuation. I also liked the term of high stakes and low stakes writing. I think daily journal writing for low stakes is an excellent way for a student to make writing progess.
One of the concerns I have is finding the articles for the assignment,especially through InfOhio. I think there may be some limited access on ERIC.
