Good Assignments Lead to Good Writing.
Brostoff, Anita
Social Education, v43 n3 p184-86 Mar 1979
Describes principles which achieve good writing assignments in the social studies: (1) define the content and skills teachers want students to learn, (2) devise assignments in which level of difficulty of task fits the level of the goal, (3) let students speculate on the topic, and (4) present the topic so that students know how and what to do.
