Writing Strategies
A Student-Centered Approach
By David Kehe and Peggy Dustin Kehe
Book One: High Intermediate
Book Two: Advanced Text
To the Kehes:
By the way, here at the American English Institute at the University
of Oregon, we are using your "Writing Strategies: Book Two"
for our level 5 students. For the first time in ages, we are starting
to get much better essays! Thanks for the effort that you and Peggy
put into the book.
Sincerely,
Bill Walker
Senior Instructor
American English Institute
University of Oregon
These two texts are jam-packed with writing activities for a student-centered
writing course. Simply put, students learn to write by writing, and these
books by David and Peggy Kehe keep the students focused on improving their
writing from the first to the last minute of the class hour.
* Each volume includes three different kinds of activities.
Rhetorical Modes.
The students follow a careful sequence of steps from preparing the first
draft to writing the final essay.
| Intermediate Modes |
Advanced Modes |
| Description |
Process |
| Narration |
Cause and Effect |
| Exposition |
Extended Definition |
| Comparison and Contrast |
Argumentation |
Fluency Writing.
In pairs and triads, the students exchange information on a contemporary
topic. They finish the activity by summarizing in writing what they
have talked about.
Grammar Problems and Terminology.
In this section, the students review those pesky grammar problems that
always show up in the process of putting thoughts into grammatically
accurate sentences.
Pre-college and college.
An excellent review of Writing Strategies (specifically the advanced
one) is on the Japanese JALT on-line journal site, The Language Teacher.
