Assessing writing, invigorating instruction, and rethinking revision for effective teaching

Discover practical strategies for teaching writing and revision that are easy for both teachers and students to understand, thanks to the expert advice of Ruth Culham. Assess and evaluate writing effectively by using the Traits of Writing to reflect on past work and plan for future improvement. Formative assessment plays a crucial role in this process, allowing us to identify areas of challenge and understand the significance of different modes of writing. By teaching with energized instruction, we can empower our students to become better writers, guiding them through the process of reading like a writer and making thoughtful revision decisions. Engage in meaningful discussions and provide the necessary tools to support the real work of writing, and use sample writing papers and reproducible resources to practice and reinforce these essential skills. With Culham's guidance, teaching writing and revision becomes an approachable and rewarding endeavor for both educators and learners.
