How can I incorporate more writing in my classroom when I am required to “cover” my prescribed curriculum?  Why and how can “collaboration” create a successful climate for ensuring students are prepared for the next level of composition?  What “works” to teach writing to my students?  How can I best “prepare” them to transition to their next level of composition?

In this practicality-based Web seminar, high school and college-experienced teacher and author Chris Dixon will discuss how collaboration, a common denominator in altering the writing classroom, promotes student reflection, analysis and empowerment.  In this interactive presentation, you will learn

• Strategies to teach writing  that embed components of the writing process in all aspects of the English classroom
• Specific examples of instructional lessons that promote students’ abilities to read, think, and respond critically
• “Why” and “how” to use collaborative instructional approaches to ensure a successful transition for student writers at any level
• How to adapt instructional suggestions to use with divergent student populations and curriculum
• And share individual approaches to ensure that the writing process is an ongoing part of the classroom landscape throughout the school year.
