Literacy Engagements Lessons on ReadWriteThink can be sorted by literacy engagements so that teachers can highlight specific language functions in the classroom. Following M. A. K. Halliday's model, lessons are designed to engage students in authentic and meaningful language learning (1982). Literacy engagements simultaneously involve learning language (as students listen to it and use it with others in their everyday lives), learning about language (as students try to figure out how it works, engage with their teachers in focused instruction on how it works or in critiquing its impact), and learning through language (as students use it to learn about or do something).

BATS New Writing In our post-modern world, academics love to ask if there can be such a thing as New Writing; "Surely all writing is old writing rearranged?" "We can never be original only ever clichéd," they whine, nowadays a cliché in itself. "Filled with fabulous cynicism," Stephen Fry, judge of the BATS New Writing Competition, summed up the common theme of the three short-listed pieces: "these plays are aware of the very cliché they were inhabiting: a frustration with life." Tempting fate with its title, James Walker's Near Miss dealt with missed opportunities and the futility of existence. Taking its lead from Absurdist Theatre, intellectual posturing, ruminations on the transience of time and obscure word play were the order of the day. Self-consciously sporting its intellectual credentials on its sleeve, the play was pretentious and sadly unengaging, despite assured production and excellent performances from Ben Silverstone and the writer himself. Having already established himself as a writer - most recently with Gemini - Walker has attracted the praise of Channel 4, who said of one of his earlier successes: "This should be on at the West End". Ultimately "Near Miss" had more chance of being found up its own West End than on it.

Art projects, working with play dough, measuring and pouring sand and water, and practicing writing are excellent ways to improve fine motor skills. The skills along the path to writing are: Scribbling with crayons. Have plenty of paper and writing materials on hand for your child. Place paper pads and pencils throughout the house. Encourage all efforts to write. Making circles and other basic shapes. Again, put plenty of paper and writing materials around the house. Point out shapes in the house and try to draw them together (be encouraging). Have stencils available for your child to trace. Discuss your child's attempts with him/her in a positive way.

In his essay "The Music of Prose," William Gass writes: "The producers of prose do not play scales or improve their skills by repeating passages of De Quincey or Sir Thomas Browne, although that might be a good idea." Joan Didion typed out Hemingway's stories to see how they worked; Somerset Maugham copied out a page of Jonathan Swift each day; Eudora Welty transcribed pages from the King James Bible. Pull out a book you admire and copy out a scene that strikes you as powerful. Try writing a scene of description or your own in the same manner. Try writing it in the styles of several different authors. Write it in the style of a writer you despise. Listen to music. Find a piece of music that evokes the mood of a scene you wish to write, or are trying to write. Is it rock? Folk? Jazz? Rap? See what it inspires in you. If you tend to write short, declarative sentences, see how Bach's Cello Suites affect your prose. If you write long, discursive pieces, listen to punk rock for fifteen minutes, then try to write.

GLOSSARY: Tech Terms explained WORD PLAY Understanding And Writing Lyrics: Part 2 Modes Published in SOS January 2001 Printer friendly version Technique : Miscellaneous Whenever we hear or read song lyrics, we are hearing the voice of a person, whether that voice be the songwriter's own, exploring his or her own emotions and feelings, or someone else's. The second part of Sam Inglis ' series explains how you can write for different voices to put across different messages. In last month's outline of a possible approach to lyric writing, I mentioned that at some stage you will be faced with the need to make certain general decisions about the words to each song. These decisions can be, and often are, made unknowingly or unconsciously, but they are still an essential part of the songwriting process. It's perfectly possible to write a brilliant pop lyric without ever being aware that you're making these decisions, but that doesn't mean they're any less important, nor that there's nothing to gain by making the effort to understand them. Poetry theory describes a large number of modes and variations upon them, but for our purposes three will be adequate for the vast majority of all pop lyrics: the lyric mode, the dramatic mode, and the narrative mode. A poem or song lyric is in the lyric mode if its primary purpose is to express the emotions of the narrator, and to bring about a particular emotional response in the listener. Poems in lyric mode are often designed to be sung, so it is no accident that the word 'lyric' in pop music is derived directly from this mode. As we shall see, however, not all pop lyrics are written in the lyric mode and, of the other modes which are relevant to songwriting, by far the most important are the dramatic mode and the narrative mode. A verse belongs to the dramatic mode if it forms a speech or address by the narrator to someone or something in particular, while a narrative verse is one that tells a story.
