Monticello High School Writing Program
Monticello High School is working
towards narrowing the achievement gap and raising graduation
rates. One of the ways in which this success can be achieved is
by unifying our understanding of writing requirements and having
students write across the content areas. This common set of
goals will increase focus and more easily familiarize students
with writing expectations, regardless of the content specialty
goal.
The documents below are designed to help all of us reach these
goals. They include a Writing Research Handbook that contains
everything teachers and students need to know about writing a
research and position paper. These guidelines and outlines are
based on accredited research and writing methods that use the
criteria for acceptable writing as determined by the Board of
Regents. Additionally, there is an article about research, a
list of helpful web sites and a checklist to help students
understand how to tackle a research paper. Some of the
information is based on the Big 6 approach which clearly
delineates the process of organizing ideas and goals clearly and
concisely.
