Voices in the Junior High School Classroom: Lost and Found
Lynda Hamblin
Discusses aspects of the classroom environment that nurture young writers. Describes strategies and assignments (including cross-curricular poetry, a letter writing activity, multi genre papers, a tribute assignment, and a "read and retail" assignment) which helps students understand and develop voice. Notes that while students' writing improved, their scores on Idaho's Direct Writing Assessment did not, since it actually negates students' voices.
