From Intentions to Text: Articulating Initial Intentions for Writing.

Wallace, David L.

Research in the Teaching of English, v30 n2 p182-219 May 1996

Examines the extent to which asking 20 entry-level and 19 basic-level college writing students to articulate their initial intentions for writing facilitated the identification of 3 kinds of instructional problems students face in moving from intentions to texts. Suggests that students with useful initial intentions write more effective texts than other students. (TB)
