Teaching Writing Across the Curriculum and

Pattern Based Writing: Quick & Easy Essay

Please Note: I don¡¯t discuss Pattern Based Writing: Quick & Easy Essay in the body text beyond this

page. But I do mention the curriculum now because I did develop the curriculum while teaching

writing across the curriculum.

Teaching writing across the curriculum is an important topic and activity because it helps teachers get

the results that they need in the time that they have. In most serious discussions on the problems

that teachers face in teaching writing, eventually, the issue of time comes up. How do teachers get

the results that they need in the time that they have?

My entire model of teaching writing (which includes everything I write in this ebook) incorporates the

fact that I walk into a classroom on day one and I want to be able to show objective and obvious

writing results later in the year. Throughout the school year, I use an unbiased timed-writing system

to monitor the truth of my students¡¯ writing progress.

Like many teachers, I am familiar with what the research on teaching writing says works, but I also

know that I must figure out what gets results with my students in my classroom. In other words, each

day is a research project where I diligently attempt to figure out what creates writing success with my

students.

Although I use and have always used various types of writing and grammar lessons, I don¡¯t find that

lessons teach writing. Lessons are tools for teaching writing. In fact, I also view Pattern Based

Writing: Quick & Easy Essay as a tool¡ªthe most valuable tool in the teaching-writing toolbox. It¡¯s the

fastest, most effective way to teach beginning writers and struggling writers to create organized

multi-paragraph writing.
