ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces activities and formats for supporting students in writing summative papers. Each student has two minutes to visit an expert, hand over their paper, and have the student close read for specific areas. It is sometimes hard to walk the line between covering curriculum dictates and centering instruction around student choice. To see more student success on content area written products, content area teachers can assist students by forcing some prewriting thinking in the Daybook before even beginning the research for the desired product. Collecting the insights helps students learn more about themselves. Assigning due dates to each phase, along with short, expressive writings, will help students write for meaning rather than tying together disconnected or nonsensical sources. In the brainstorming exercise, shift the focus to a narrative writing. The Daybook is a place to hold these "madman" writings before developing the more formal essay.
