Teaching and Evaluating Writing [Andrew Pudewa]

Evaluating a student’s writing can be very difficult for anyone, but especially for the parents or teachers who may feel less than perfectly confident in their own English or grammar skills. This talk will teach you how to provide specific models and stylistic goals for each composition, giving specific assignments to your children for both fiction and non-fiction. Solve the “How long does it have to be?” problem. Never again hear yourself say, “Don’t you want to add a little more detail?” With confidence and precision, you can design and communicate to your children goal and model-based writing assignments, and have a concrete tool to objectively evaluate their efforts.
