Asking the Right Questions: Reading Assignments That Work for Writing. ERIC Digest.
Haneline, Douglas; Aiex, Nola Kortner
This digest considers the one thing that all English teachers do--make reading and writing assignments. It addresses 4 questions whose answers should determine the nature of the reading and writing assignments given by teachers: (1) who are the students? (2) why are the students in college? (3) what is the nature of the course in which the assignment is being given? and (4) what are the desired outcomes of the assignment? (NKA)
Descriptors: Educational Objectives, Higher Education, Instructional Effectiveness, Reading Assignments, Reading Writing Relationship, Relevance (Education), Student Needs, Student Research, Teacher Role, Writing Assignments, Writing Improvement
