In Ch. 10, Graham and Harris recommend several approaches/procedures for supporting and enhancing students’ planning behaviors: prewriting, inquiry, and strategy instruction. Think of each approach and try to make specific connections to your current writing instruction. How might you attempt to improve students’ planning behaviors in order to see more self-regulated writers in your classroom? What are your thoughts on Graham’s Self-Regulated Strategy Development Model (SRSD)? Comment on and make connections to how you currently incorporate any or all of these principles for teaching planning strategies. Think about and respond to any of the examples of the planning strategies for writing: an informative report, compare/contrast paper, persuasive paper and the more general planning strategies. Again, in your current writing instruction, think about the scaffolds you provide for teaching planning.
