Key ideas from the chapter:
- Have students write for real-world purposes - Maybe have students create a newsletter about natural medicine use in their country.
- Base writing content on student interests - If an ELL loves soccer, have him write about the World Cup and his favorite team.
- Understand the terrors and limitations of "compliance" writing
- Emphasize process over product, wholes over pieces
- Use a variety of writing supports (group composing, graphic organizers, drawing-based text, "skeletons") - Have students write papers together instead of individually.
