How Original Is It? The Models on which Children Base Their Writing.
Jenkins, Elwyn
Educational Review, v38 n2 p151-59 Jun 1986
This article points out the role of using literary models in relation to older children's writing; investigates how children's use of models can help us explain certain features in their writing; and suggests that teachers can incorporate in their teaching the natural process of using models that children follow when they write.
