Argument Informative/explanatory Narrative
The Standards acknowledge the fact that whereas some writing skills, such as the ability to plan, revise, edit, and publish, are applicable to many types of writing, other skills are more properly defined in terms of specific writing types: arguments, informative/explanatory texts, and narratives.
Students can, without significant scaffolding, comprehend and evaluate complex texts across a range of types and disciplines, and they can construct effective arguments and convey intricate or multifaceted information.
They learn to appreciate that a key purpose of writing is to communicate clearly to an external, sometimes unfamiliar audience, and they begin to adapt the form and content of their writing to accomplish a particular task and purpose.
W Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence..
W a Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of the claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that logically sequences claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence..
W b Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience’s knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases..
W c Use words, phrases, and clauses as well as varied syntax to link the major sections of the text, create cohesion, and clarify the relationships between claim(s) and reasons, between reasons and evidence, and between claim(s) and counterclaims..
W d Establish and maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the discipline in which they are writing..
W e Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the argument presented..
Establish a clear purpose for writing, modeling the language found in the Writing Standards Specify the audience to be addressed State clearly the topic, issue, or idea to be addressed Reference the source text(s) serving as the stimulus for a student response Specify the desired form or genre of the student reponse
What is the difference between assigning writing and teaching writing
provide students with the writing task assign a text and require students to write an essay on a given topic collect and grade the task provide minimal feedback proceed to the next task.

What are the instructional implications
There’s no substitute for doing when it comes to understanding. Teachers, when they write, uncover the hard parts and are thus better able to see which mini- lessons will most benefit their students. Writing done by the teacher drives better instruction. Gallagher, Kelly. Teaching Adolescent Writers (48)..
This demonstrates to students that good writing is the product of multiple revisions. Students see the teacher struggle with the complexity and chaos of writing. This helps demystify the writing process. Students no longer maintain the false impression that good writing just flows at will. Gallagher, Kelly. Teaching Adolescent Writers (48)..
