Jago's book on cohesive writing has been a great resource for me. I hope I can continue using this book as i start teaching. One thing that I really want to take with me are 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.
I think these beliefs are a great positive enforcement to help students learn how to write. I think that many students need the extra help, encouragement, and guidance.
