E-mail a Friend NCTE Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing by the Writing Study Group of the NCTE Executive Committee November 2004 Just as the nature of and expectation for literacy has changed in the past century and a half, so has the nature of writing. Much of that change has been due to technological developments, from pen and paper, to typewriter, to word processor, to networked computer, to design software capable of composing words, images, and sounds. These developments not only expanded the types of texts that writers produce, they also expanded immediate access to a wider variety of readers. With full recognition that writing is an increasingly multifaceted activity, we offer several principles that should guide effective teaching practice. 1. Everyone has the capacity to write, writing can be taught, and teachers can help students become better writers.

26. Granta: What We Teach When We Teach Creative Writing Awardwinning author Peter Ho Davies makes the case for creative writing courses. http://www.granta.com/features/2001/05/ho-davies

Sign in Create an account Help Latest issue ... Features Feature What We Teach When We Teach Creative Writing Peter Ho Davies I'm a British writer living in the US. It says so in the bio at the back of my books. I was born in Britain. Many of my stories are set in Britain. I fight with my long-suffering US manuscript editor about preserving British spelling and usage in my work (Manchester United are the greatest football team ever, not Manchester United is the greatest soccer team ever). It would not, in short, be unreasonable to say that Britain is my inspiration. And yet, whenever I return home, I'm reminded that in a very specific sense I'm an American writer: a writer, that is, made in America. I moved here almost a decade ago to join a graduate creative writing program and have stayed ever since, supported by grants and fellowships, advances and awards, but mostly through teaching in the same kind of programs I first came to study in. And here's the thing. In the US at present there are over 300 creative writing programs. In Britain there are ten. Now, I've heard this one before. It's a question I myself asked (implicitly and with a slightly defensive hostility) of my own teachers when I first came to graduate school in the US. I was confident that a program could offer me time and financial support, less sure that anyone could teach me something as individual as writing. It took a few months, but slowly I began to feel my work improving and because I was

TEFLChina Teahouse Teaching Writing Writing: Captioning Martin, April 24, 1998 When working on creative writing with my special education students, I will often pull from a file of newspaper or magazine pictures and have the students write captions, serious or humorous ones. For oral language and communication skills, they may also sit back to back and one person describes the picture for the other person to sketch. This can be humorous if you make it a contest for the most accurate drawing. Student journals Linell Davis, January 22, 1999 Reasons for asking students to write Engliish journals * Fluency practice It helps to get the words flowing. You can't work on improving their writing until they produce words and sentences. The more the better. This is about quantity. * Source of ideas A journal entry might hold an idea for an essay or other more formal writing. * Non-threatening Because you define it as informal writing, students are less afraid of making mistakes. Because they are more relaxed and have fewer fixed ideas about what a journal should be, they often write better in their journals than in formal essays. * Audience and argument Students learn that they can actually communicate in writing. They have readers and the readers have opinions! They learn to give reasons for their opinions.

40. SoYouWanna Deliver An Effective Speech? This stepby-step article will teach you the tricks to delivering a solid speech. From writing, to practice, to vocal techniques, you'll never have to use that old picture them in their underwear trick again. http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/speaking/speaking.html

An Intermix Network Property SYW do standup comedy? SYW ace a job interview? SYW avoid common writing errors? Fact: the most common phobia that Americans have is glossophobia (that is the fear of public speaking, not the fear of lip gloss). Seventy-five percent of all Americans report having a fear of public speaking, beating out fear of spiders, fear of the dark, and even fear of death. We highly doubt that people, if given the choice, would choose death over public speaking, but nonetheless, talking in front of a large group of people will turn most people's legs into jelly. We hate jelly. That's why we're here to help you teach you how to give a good speech. And we promise that the advice that we offer will be more constructive than "picture the audience naked." Everyone knows that that doesn't actually work. Why is the image of your boss, your teacher, or complete strangers in the buff supposed to put you at ease, anyway? If anything, these images should inspire even more terror. This is the most important piece of advice we have to offer you about public speaking: never forget who you're talking to . You're not a wall or your mother or your friends (even if all of these are in the crowd). You're speaking to a specific audience . And audiences, by definition, gather together to watch something that's worth their being held hostage in a cramped room for an extensive amount of time.
