Next Generation Writing in the Content Areas—Grades 4–8
This session is designed to provide strategies for increasing students’ proficiency in writing in the content areas. Participants will learn how to manage the six traits of writing within the writing process to produce the text types required
for next-generation assessment of the new standards. Teachers will discover effective strategies for helping students elaborate, clarify, and organize their ideas as they write about content-area topics. They will then experience a wide variety of trait-specific, process-based writing strategies to support mastery of content standards. These strategies will enable all teachers to manage this instruction, regardless of experience or expertise in teaching writing. Working with partners and groups, participants will incorporate their learning into authentic content-area writing lessons of their own. Session Number PD28

Developing Young Writers Developing Young Writers
In the early stage of literacy development, children write more and more, and as a result, they learn more about both encoding (spelling) and decoding (reading). In this session designed for K–2 classroom teachers, reading coaches, curriculum specialists, and
administrators, we will explore the interconnectedness between the reading and writing processes and ways teachers can help children: (1) further develop their alphabetic knowledge as they learn how to spell new words and develop strategies to write unknown words; (2) acquire correct use of language conventions, such as punctuation marks and uppercase letters; (3) learn how to reconstruct their experiences and concepts about the world around them; and (4) expand their writing to include varying genres and text formats.
