Teaching Writing to Adults: An Inservice Education Manual.
Hammond, Dorothy; Mangano, Joseph
This manual was developed to help regional administrators and teacher educators conduct inservice training for local teachers who teach writing in preparation for the new General Educational Development (GED) test. The manual is organized in six sections. The first section explains the rationale for the GED writing sample and outlines what the writing sample will require. In Section II, holistic scoring of the GED Test Writing Sample is discussed; a rating sheet and sample essays are included. The next three sections (III-V) provide teachers with plans for conducting classes to teach adults how to write. Information on the curriculum, as well as on the writing process, is included. Also included are instructional strategies for prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and evaluating. The final section contains directions for planning and managing an inservice workshop. A glossary and a bibliography complete this guide. (KC)
