So far I have found the articles I've read to be very interesting. Especially the second one, about how teachers deal with touchy subjects in student writing, and how to stay subjective and keep your own beliefs out of your responses to them. I had never thought about how my beliefs would affect how I judge my students writing. I think writing should be judged on how well it is written not on the context. I believe if we expect students to take writing seriously then they should be allowed to write about something they enjoy. Students will become much better writers by being allowed to express themselves and be creative, rather than regurgitating something they could care less about. So far the articles have talked about what we learn from writing both as the writer and as the audience, but I would like to see more about the different styles of writing. More specifics on how to teach different types of writing, such as a persuasive paper or even poetry. I think it will be easier to figure out what to look for in a good writing program if we see more examples of how writing is being taught as a whole. I have noticed in the articles that the author talks about different teachers witing plans but I have not seen one completely laid out. I would really like to see a couple of examples of a teachers complete writing program not just one part of it. Even though each article has talked about a different aspect of writing, I think it would be easier to take in as a whole.
