This edWebinar presents an overview of The Writing Rope, a framework for identifying the instructional components needed to develop students’ writing abilities in grades 4-12. The Writing Rope has five writing components represented by strands in a rope that are woven into skilled writing. An overview and instructional suggestions are shared for these components:

  • Critical Thinking (generating ideas, gathering information, and following the writing process)
  • Syntax (sentence writing)
  • Text Structure (paragraph structure, organization for the three types of writing)
  • Writing Craft (word choice, literary devices)
  • Transcription (spelling and handwriting/keyboarding)

Viewers learn a research-based framework for writing instruction that can guide instructional decisions and critically evaluate their schools’ writing curricula.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to elementary and middle school teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders.
