From Lori:
The Vermont Writing Collaborative authors and educators remind us that kids need to have deep knowledge of the subject matter that they’re writing about… Science of Writing. This episode also gets me really excited for an episode coming out this summer focused on writing, where we talk about how to extract that knowledge and explicitly teach writing!
Listen again or for the first time!
Joey Hawkins & Diana Leddy of The Vermont Writing Collaborative share how educators can support students in creating and communicating their understanding through writing.
The three pillars for writing for understanding are:
Backward design (envision the final goal!)
Build understanding (talking about text, writing about text, acting it out, and more!)
Direct instruction (writing models, structures, organizers)
Writing is a powerful way of working with knowledge - a coherent chunk of knowledge. How do HQIM support and execute this approach to writing for understanding? Listen in to find out, and grab a copy of their book, Writing for Understanding!
