Writing Standards (6, 7, 8)
6) Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update
individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback,
including new arguments or information.
7) Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question
(including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the
inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demon-
strating understanding of the subject under investigation.
8) Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources,
using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each
source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the
text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance
on any one source and following a standard format for citation including
footnotes and endnotes. CA
I used these standard 6 when I put up these blog posts because I'm using technology to post up these standards and getting feedback from peers because of it, it is also applied when I use Google Docs wo share documents with my peers.
I used standard 7 while writing proposals and essays for MyLife project, like when I wrote the proposal for the stage. This really allowed me to focus on my penmanship and use it in a real life situation, a situation in which I could apply my writing skills in multiple ways.
I used standard 8 in many ways this year. I used it when researching information about the skatepark, the stage, and even my vet science projects. I learned how to use web information and put it in my own words, without plagiarizing.
