Teaching the Writing Process

TExES Competency 008 (Written Language) The reading specialist understands and applies knowledge of written language and instructional methods to reinforce reading and writing at the levels of early childhood through grade 12.

By reading and following the advice of Peter Elbow in Writiing Without Teachers, Barry Lane in After the End, and Tom Romano in Crafting Authentic Voice, I was able to understand knowledge of writtten language.  I applied it to create the following creative narrative piece:  The Adventures of Sherlock Shelby
TExES Competency 010 (Instructional Methods and Resources) The reading specialist understands and applies knowledge of methods and resources for providing effective literacy instruction that addresses the varied learning needs of all students at the levels of early childhood through grade 12.

Reading and discussing Reggie Routman's Writing Essentials helped me to understand the writing process and the importance of scaffolding.  By applying what I learned, I created this webquest which walks students through the writing process.
