The 23 Things You Can Change Quickly for Improving Writing [Infographic]

The 23 Things You Can Change Quickly for Improving Writing [Infographic] | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Improving writing skills ranks as one of the most common pursuits teachers encourage in their students, even in the digital age. That’s because teachers know solid writing ability is so much more than just writing stellar essays and book reports, or becoming the next big name in fiction. More importantly, it’s about improving communication, mastering self-expression, and exercising the creative voice inherent in all learners.

The Tools (and 10 Execises!) to Improve Your Writing Voice

The Tools (and 10 Execises!) to Improve Your Writing Voice | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
We hear the word “voice” a lot in appraisals of writing. The term can be confusing. You might hear, “Aden’s voice is just so original!” or “The voice of this piece really punched me in the gut.” These are terrific compliments, but what exactly is voice? Most commonly, voice refers to how a writer’s unique word choice and syntax reflect her worldview, identity, or personality. So if someone tells you that your writing has a strong voice, he is expressing his appreciation for the singular stylistic fingerprint imbued in your essays/stories.

You’ve probably already got your own personal narrator voice—and practice will only improve it.

El proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje para que sea realmente significativo implica la participación del alumnado, en esta participación el papel del docente es fundamental(guía, orienta, estimula....). Disponer en la programación educativa de una serie de recursos educativos que faciliten al alumnado la comunicación de lo aprendido resulta fundamental para que desarrollen un rol de prosumidor frente a una mera bùsqueda de información, simplificando metodologías tan necesarias como la clase invertida .
