During writing tasks are important for students to use in order to focus their efforts during writing. During writing strategies allow students to:
write a rough draft of a specific type of writing
organize their writing
focus on the structure and content of the writing
compare writing with pre-writing tasks
synthesize thoughts and content from pre-writing strategies
compare their writing with specific rubrics
Several during-writing strategies are linked below. The strategies are in these three categories of writing: Informative/Explanatory, Argumentative/Opinion, and Summary. The instructions are attached and many of them also have graphic organizers for students. If you need any assistance using these strategies do not hesitate to reach out to Crystal Parten at: cparten@csraresa.org
