Writing Vision and Authentic Literacy
Writing is an integral component to college, career, and citizenry preparation at Thomas Nelson. Preparing all Generals to communicate effectively within multiple contexts is the goal of our school-wide writing policy team. As we revise the Thomas Nelson writing policy for the coming year we continually come back to the notion of "Authentic Literacy" and the importance of creating real-life applications as outcomes of the writing process. At TNHS we strive to create authentic applications and engage in writing that entails:
- Meaningful readings that connect to real-world topics and issues that we face in the world today.
- Open-ended and engaging questions that allow for students to synthesize multiple sources of information to form their argument.
- Giving students choices about the questions they address, the stance they take, and the sources they reference to form their argument.
I look forward to sharing the writing vision with everyone in the coming months.
