Authored by one of the most respected writing professors in America, this resource combines the affective (the insight) for writing with writing as a learning tool in all content areas to debunk commonly believed practices about writing in middle schools and high schools--particularly the claim that writing is boring and pointless. Prompted by the near-total neglect of writing in content areas outside English, Bill Strong explores and answers the question 'why writing matters.' At a time when more emphasis is being placed on middle and secondary students and when writing tests have been added to the new ACT and SAT assessments, Write for Insight is ideal for teachers seeking a flexible and inspiring text to increase students' motivation and to enhance long-term learning across the middle and high school grades. Arguing that writing is a powerful learning tool in all content areas, Strong utilizes note-taking, drawing, summarizing, brainstorming, and metaphor-building to help students collect notes, plan future action, frame questions, monitor their own learning, and engage in a rich array of imaginative and cognitive tasks. style is appropriate for both in-service and pre-service teachers in diverse disciplines.
