Success is a community of published authors!Some members of the Tween WriteAway Club pose with their finished manuscripts.
DAP = Developmentally Appropriate Practice and involves tailoring instruction and activities to a specific developmental level
Most often used in early childhood education, but the concept can be extended to any age\grade level
What is DAP?
Provide a structured publishing product Nix all criticism—constructive or otherwise Engage extended families
DAP for Tween Writers
Projects & Publishing
Adult Writers Can reasonably seek out
opportunities to get published
Utilize writing groups mainly for support
Have a complex view of writing that incorporates a variety of purposes for writing
Tween Writers Write often, but have few or
no real opportunities for publishing or sharing their work
Expect to do a significant amount of writing during meetings
Distinguish only between “school” and “fun” writing
Criticism—Constructive and Otherwise
Adult Writers Have few opportunities to
get direct feedback on their work
Feel free to claim the term “writer” & are more comfortable rejecting criticism
Have more experience giving and receiving criticism
Tween Writers Nearly everything they
write is judged and graded
Are blocked from challenging their teachers’ judgments and grades
Are limited developmentally in their ability to give and receive peer feedback
Extended Family Involvement
Adult Writers Usually see family as an
influence on their writing and often as a writing topic as well
Often feel tension between family responsibilities & writing
Tween Writers Tend not to write about
“family stuff” See themselves as writers
and\or write voluntarily because of family support
Have awesome families!
