- First, do you subscribe to the belief that writing requires students to problem solve, and if you do, wouldn't you want to make the time for this important process during the course of your content-area instruction? And second, when you do not make sufficient provisions for writing in your classrooms—including all of its necessary steps—but require students to complete written assignments, what message does this send regarding its importance?
- unintended consequence of omitting writing instruction during instructional time.
- do not have the opportunity to engage in academic learning, we must consider the implicit message this sends to them about learning and effort.
- I had been ignoring the basic principle that giving them one chance to revise their papers was sending them the message that they had one shot to improve their grades, thereby taking away the motivation to improve as writers. (Bardine, Bardine, & Deegan, 2000, p. 99)

- One word of warning is in order, however: Do not make judgmental comments, either good or bad, after students have read. Remember that you are encouraging them to commit ideas to paper. You do not want to make them anxious or resent the activity because the person who read first received a "Great!" response from you and the next person didn’t. A simple "Thank you for sharing" works well as you proceed to call on the next person or to tie what has been said in with the day’s lesson.
