Teaching Short Story Writing within an Elementary School Framework.

Abstract: (4 pp) Today, we think of teaching writing as a process of "scaffolding'" or supporting children's language development in ways that broaden the writer's expressive possibilities, deepen his/her understanding of written language and text, and socialize the young writer into the role of literate adult. It is our responsibility and challenge to initiate prospective teachers, as well as ourselves, who may not have been taught writing in this way, into the problems and possibilities of teaching the writing process inventively and meaningfully. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
