 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.

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.
 show students what is expected of them based upon the standards  provide models of high-quality writing  offer meaningful feedback  allow opportunities for students to develop and strengthen writing by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.
 Deconstruct the following prompt
 Read the texts  Take critical notes as necessary

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)..
