Slay the Monster! Replacing Form-First Pedagogy with Effective Writing Instruction
Kathleen Dudden Rowlands
English Journal, v105 n6 p52-58 2016
The author, who teaches the English Methods class in the credential program, knew from entries in students' Writer's Reader's Notebooks (Rief) that they were struggling with the articles assigned about a five-paragraph essay. Following a discussion of form-first instruction and CCSS assessments, this article provides concrete suggestions for teaching authentic writing processes.
