Effects of Instruction in Narrative Structure on Children's Writing.

Fitzgerald, Jill; Teasley, Alan B.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v78 n6 p424-32 Dec 1986

This study investigated the possibility that direct instruction in story constituents and their interrelations could enhance children's organization in story writing. It also investigated whether the special instruction might affect quality, coherence, use of temporal and casual relations, and creativity in writing. (Author/JAZ)
