Research Support
Effective writing instruction integrates
disciplines.
The opportunity to write in every class
develops good writers.
Integration of writing promotes student
participation, a diversity of student voices,
and engages students as critical thinkers.
Only by practicing the thinking and writing
conventions of an academic discipline will
students begin to communicate effectively
within that discipline.

Implications
Literacy graphic organizers can be used in
any classroom
If students are going to be successful in
reading and writing, they have to practice
in all classes
As EOC assessments increase in difficulty,
they increase in writing requirements
Writing is a means to your individual end
(please- still teach your content, just use
writing to do it)
