INTRODUCTION TO THIS GUIDE:

This pathfinder was created by Mrs. Lipinski.  It was created as a learning aid for CHS students as they become successful writers. If you have any questions about this resource, stop by the library or email me at nlipinski@cpsge.org

PURPOSE:

To put resources for effective writing in one easy-to-find location. To support ELA Language Arts and Literacy Writing Standards for grades 9-12, as identified below:

• WCA.9-10.1-10

• WCA.11-12.1-10

• Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content.

• Write informative/explanatory texts, including narration of historical events, scientific processes/experiments, or technical processes.

• Use technology, including current web-based communication platforms, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology’s capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically.

• When conducting research, gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism, and following a standard format for citation.
