Student Writing Can Improve Behavior and Classroom Instruction.

Dodd, Anne Wescott

NASSP Bulletin, v74 n530 p95-99 Dec 1990

Teachers can solve discipline problems, motivate students, and improve their own teaching by using writing assignments for communication purposes. Students get a chance to talk on paper, reflect on a situation, and avoid detention. Free writing can motivate students to do assignments and participate in class activities. Writing assignment suggestions are provided. (MLH)
