Today's Topics
I really enjoyed today's discussions on relating writing to various social processes. I agree with teaching grammar within writing. I also enjoy the idea of using hands-on strategies to teach writing. I struggle with trying to get my students to perform well on the achievement testing and I feel confused on what teaching strategies to use. I want my students to pass the test, but I also want them to actually learn. I definitly feel that writing is shaped by outdoor factors. I also feel that there needs to be more in depth studies on standard testing. There are some major faults with these tests. It seems that everyone realizes this, except the people who are making them a requirement. Amy

Amy,
I agree with you about the standardized tests. This year I was so proud of my students' writing for the Ohio test, but the people who graded them scored them very low. They interpreted the rubric much tougher than we expected.
