Our class completed a research simulation task using @TheWritingRevol to produce informative paragraphs about animal adaptations. Then we designed beautiful camouflage animals to accompany our writings! I love how these turned out! @LISShines @mhayes611

There are many good reasons for writing lessons to be connected to the content students have just learned.
First and foremost, it optimizes for cognitive load, because it removes the need for a student to conjure up content to write about.
This makes the design of The Writing Revolution quite smart:
It coaches teachers on how to craft writing lessons around the content in their curricula.

In their study of Death of a Salesman, Ms. Hertler and Ms. Greenberg’s English 12 students were using strategies from The Writing Revolution to help organize their thoughts, find evidence in the text, and construct complex and detailed sentences! Writing is Thinking! @RVCSchools

“Because, but, so” works not because it’s cute but because it aligns with how memory and understanding actually form.
Retrieval. Elaboration. Generation.

Teachers focus too much on broad writing skills while neglecting sentence-level instruction. Students need explicit teaching of sentence construction to express complex ideas effectively in writing.

❔What happens when students write about what they’re learning❔
✅They retain more information
✅They have a better understanding of that info
Hear @natwexler in Ep. 6 of the #KnowledgeMatters Podcast speak w/ educators from @MCSchoolsLa about writing!

When I trained to teach, the focus was on teaching the different purposes of writing. Writing to persuade, to explain, to describe.
By contrast, The Writing Revolution teach writing as a means of advancing thinking.
I think it's the latter approach that is more important in a world with AI.
