Jago Chapter 6

Wow, there are only three pages in this chapter! I like Jago's core beliefs:

1. In order to learn to write, one must write.
2. Authentic tasks and topics generate the most cohesive student writing.
3. Students need both supportive and critical feedback.
4. There is no cohesive writing without revision.

One of the things I like most about writing is that it still allows students who are more advanced to take their writing to the next level. I think teachers should challenge students to be the best writer he or she can be. And I don't think it hurts anyone to review the rules of grammar, the process of writing an essay, and revision techniques. The point is to practice writing well.
