<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi All—I have attached the final version of my article on the writing strategies (sentence, paragraph, and theme writing) for your use. Here are some of the key takeaways related to this article:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">• It’s the first time all three strategies have been taught to the same students by computers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">• It’s the first time all three strategies have been taught to a large group of students in a control-group design.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">• It’s the first time we can see the results if instructional fidelity is at 100%. (The computers ensured that each student did every activity and mastered each skill.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">• It’s the first time we have VERY large effect sizes with a large group of students.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">• <span style="color:red">It’s the first time we compared the results of our programs to normative data on the paragraph-writing and theme-writing skills of students enrolled in general education English classes
and AP classes across a school year. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">• The same strategies that are in the instructor’s manuals are represented in the computer programs tested in this study.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> Bottom line: If people want to teach writing, the writing strategies are the way to go!
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"">😎</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">. No one else has results like these. Jean<o:p></o:p></span></p>
