Why Teach Writing?
Why teach writing? After all, it’s tough. It’s confusing. And sometimes crying is involved. Here are a few encouraging reasons why you may want to teach writing, despite the hurdles.
Here are a few reasons why we believe that students should learn to write well:
1. Students become more organized in their thinking when they learn to write. Writing clearly involves organizational skills that will aid our students in other subjects.
2. Writing causes students to think through topics or defend a position. Through this process, students gain an understanding of logical thinking and the best way to present their ideas. They learn the difference between facts and opinions, and they learn how to support their ideas with facts.
