   Waking Minds, Writing “bridges the best of both traditional and innovative instructional design and pedagogy in supporting writing skill development. Traditional print-based products do not provide comprehensive and user- friendly solutions of this caliber” (EdNET 2009 Rookie of the Year Award).
Waking Minds, Writing (WMW) is an effective, innovative online writing solution for all students, grades 4-12. Like the strands of DNA, writing, reading, and thinking function together to allow us to express ourselves and attain academic success. Writing is key to literacy, allowing students to communicate what they have learned and what they think and feel. And the only way to become a better writer is to write, write, and write again!
WMW consists of three multimedia components: Why We Write, Writing Practice, and Writer’s Guide. Using WMW, students work independently or in pairs on writing activities, writing instruction, and tests, while teachers work one-on-one with students.
WMW is accompanied by PDFs of a Student Guide that has 30 writing worksheets and a Teacher Guide with implementation guidance, writing rubrics, and answer keys.  |
