Weaving Debate into the Writing Process | Edutopia

By Ashley Prophet

Summary by the Accomplished Teacher

 

"While teachers and students can be hesitant to integrate debate into the writing process, Ashley Prophet, a graduate student, suggests a nontraditional approach that could alleviate fears over tedious debates and rowdy students. Prophet suggests a five-step process in which students seek critical reviews from their friends, adopt an approach in which students prosecute and defend their sentences, and finally use technology to publish their work."

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

If you want to make the writing connection to Common Core, think debate!  Great resources from Edutopia.
