In response to teachers' requests for specific information about implementing the curriculum in the Expository Writing Program (EWP), this manual presents the instructional methods and materials used during the Teaching Expository Reading and Writing Project. First, the lines of research that formed the basis for the instructional program are described, specifically research on question-answer relationships, research on informational text structures, and research on writing processes. Next, EWP is described in terms of the rationale, methods, and materials used. This description is followed by a discussion of the impact that participation in this program had on the organization and quality of students' writing as well as students' attitude toward writing. Sample instructional sequences and other instructional materials are appended. (Author/SRT)
