tailieunhanh - TEACHING WRITING SKILLS A CLOBAL APPROACH

The three stages shown in Figure 1 are intended to demarcate three macro-stages of writing development. Writing skill is shown as continuously improving as a function of practice, as is typical for perceptual-motor and cognitive skills in general. The micro- changes underlying the gradual improvement that drive the transition to the next macro-stage fall beyond the scope of the present article. But, in general, it is assumed that both the basic writing processes of planning, language generation, and reviewing, plus the mental representations that must be generated and held in working memory, undergo continuous developmental changes through maturation and learning within. | TEACHING SKILLS A GLOBAL APPROACH ctir Center for Teaching International Relations University of Denver _________Denver Colorado 80208_______________ Teaching Materials From CTIR Publications CTIR activity books are written and tested by classroom teachers who have special expertise ỉn the pertinent content areas and pedagogies. Each book contains detailed descriptions for teachers on how to present activities and associated mastersheets for photoduplication of student exercise sheets. Teachers thus need only a single book for use with an entire classroom of students. CTIR activity books are designed to be used as supplements to teachers existing curricula and to offer varied and different Information perspectives and pedagogies than are often contained In standard curricula. Some books however offer a presentation of activities In a sequential manner and can be used as mini curricula according to teacher and school needs. Although CTIR Publications Is committed to providing balanced views In the context of Its activities and books that address controversial Issues not all Individuals will consider them to be comprehensively representative of all possible perspectives.
