[LM_NET] TARGET: WRITING MODELS

[Barbara Braxton <barbara@IIMETRO.COM.AU>]

I am continuing to tutor my teacher ed students in literacy, and the focus has now 
turned to
writing, and once again I am seeking your help.

Their assessment task requires them to "review the debates over rival methods of 
teaching writing"
and so I am asking you for links to these methods.  I often read your references to 
models such as
"6 traits + 1"  (and I found this link to that
http://www.nwrel.org/assessment/about.php?odelay=1&d=1) but what other models are 
in current use?
It's been a while since I was actually in the classroom teaching writing and so 
much will have
evolved since Process writing and the Conference Approach.

I did find this article  Writing Instruction: Changing Views over the Years. ERIC 
Digest D155.
http://www.ericdigests.org/2001-3/views.htm and I  am following some leads from 
that but anything
you could offer to help these teachers of the future would be appreciated.
