Description
This manual contains a complete, sequential program of lessons and examples that can be used to facilitate the writing process in a non-threatening way. This process approach, through a procedure of shaping ideas and working with words, promotes individual growth while allowing for group work, develops confidence, acknowledges accomplishments, and makes writing more satisfying and less painful.
At Montebello High School; near Los Angeles, I was hired as a writing consultant to provide MHS teachers with a process to instill writing across the curriculum. Through two faculty professional development sessions, 210 hours of in-class student writing sessions, in which 1,020 participants went through a four-step writing process of pre-writing, revising, editing and sharing in subjects including art, language, mathematics, music, and special education.
I taught English for 32 years at MHS, and for over fifteen years, I wrote a humor/satire column published in three different local newspapers.
