IPAD Lisa Deaton
Introduction…
STOP THE WORD VOMIT!!
santapaga.blogspot.com
Word vomit - when students write word-for-word from the text without analyzing what the writer means (could also
be called plagiarism, but that’s a different IPAD!).
Word Vomit??
The teacher asks: Is Little Red Riding Hood a believable character? Explain why or why not.
The student writes: Little Red Riding Hood is believable because one day, Little Red Riding Hood made goodies for her grandma, put on her red hood and took a short cut through the forest. She met a wolf and told him she was going to Grandma’s house… WORD VOMIT!!
For example,
Our students must learn to
think and write Analytically!!!!
1. Because the standards say we must teach it!!Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to
support analysis, reflection and research.
2. Our students deserve the best education we can give them.
3. Analyzing is a real-world skill that will be used on a daily basis.
Why?
Analytical writing - breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown
and evaluation to the audience.

Define analytical writing, please!
I chose analytical writing as my topic
because…
I HATE IT!!!!!!!
I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT!!
So how can I expect my students to understand?
Research…
Textbooks Poetry Instructional Strategies Assessment Strategies Co-workers Analysts, of course!
Types of resources I investigated
Judith Rowe Michaels, author of Risking Intensity: Reading and Writing Poetry with High School Students writes that analyzing poetry is
“… like being forced to eat, very slowly and at gunpoint, a huge platter of brussels sprouts, then regurgitate them and slowly ingest the limp, steamy, cabbagy little suckers all over again.”
Michaels starts slowly, and uses scaffolding to build students up to analyzing poetry.
The most helpful resources are…
Stiggins, Arter, Chappuis and Chappuis
