Integrating Micro- and Macro-Skills: Foundational Paragraph and Genre-Specific Writing
Webinar
Session Dates
Tuesday February 01, 2022 8:30 AM - 11:45 AM - Webinar
Closed
This session continues to examine research-based, effective practices for Tier 1 reading and writing. All too often, students lack foundational paragraph skills when they are asked to write in the genres. To support student paragraph writing, idea generation, categorization, and use of supporting and concluding sentences will be discussed. Phases of genre-specific writing instruction, such as learning about, evaluating, and writing genre, will also be presented. Because students who are knowledgeable about text structure recall and write text better than those who are not, the importance of making text structure visually explicit within genres will be highlighted
Objectives
Participants will be able to...
- List a series of steps to take writers from idea to paragraph
- Explain strategies to help student writers develop paragraph skills
- Identify the phases of genre-specific writing instruction
