Peter Elbow
advocates students writing with power

Elbow’s Four Levels of Audience Relationship
Private Writing
Writing that people share, but listeners don’t respond to
Writing that receives a positive response or feedback
Writing which receives criticism
![Page 9: Peter Elbow On Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161e4550346895dd201ac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Four Levels of Audience Relationship
Sharing of writing can be done in groups or pairs, or individually with the teacher
At the level of positive response, both peers and the teacher can ask questions to help and guide the writer
Students also need to share at least 3/4 of their writing
![Page 10: Peter Elbow On Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161e4550346895dd201ac/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Elbow’s Grading Contracts Contract establishes that if you do all the writing work
the teacher assigned, you get will get a B
With the collaboration of his students, Elbow establishes what A writing is
Excellence is the key to getting an A
![Page 11: Peter Elbow On Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161e4550346895dd201ac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To get an A or a B
Students need to:
do a lot of writing provide evidence of drafting, peer editing, revising they need to make substantive changes so that they
prove their skill at revising

Voice
“When people read their writing out loud, they can tell immediately when something doesn't work. They'll stumble, they'll change a sentence, they'll say, "wait a minute, let me say that differently" because it's not speakable. They learn an essential fact about voice, but they learn it with no teaching. They learn it with the feel of their mouth and the sound of their ear.” Peter Elbow

Other Requirements
“perplexity of writing” and “movement of thinking”
considers grammar and spelling as part of the final draft’s evaluation

Low Stake Assignments

Help students find their own language to explain what is being discussed
Serve as a scaffold (Vigotsky) for high stakes writing
Provides the teacher with a better understanding of the student’s writing progress
Not Graded

High Stakes Writing
![Page 17: Peter Elbow On Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161e4550346895dd201ac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Commenting on Students’ Work
Extensive research has shown that when students read our comments, they frequently misunderstand what we have written
there is no right or best way to respond to student writing
ask for a short piece of “process writing” or “writer’s log” or “cover letter” with any major assignment where the students will explain how they got their ideas, which parts were more difficult, what parts were easy, what their intention was, what changes they made
![Page 18: Peter Elbow On Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161e4550346895dd201ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Responding to Writing A rubric helps to make comments that refer directly to what
the assignment required
Read the whole text before commenting
Focus on two or three problems at the most
Frame comments in a positive way
