Writer's Solution III. Pedagogical Questions Q. We have good word processing software already. What will Writer's Solution allow me to do that I can't do already? A. It allows you to teach writing in a media-rich environment that motivates the most reluctant writer. It follows the sound pedagogy of the writing process, but the technology allows that process to be fully recursive. The program also allows you to customize instruction student by student, or class by class. Writer's Solution is much more than a word processor. In fact, it isn't a word processor. It's a tutorial with complete writing instruction and activities. Q. We have a videodisc player. Can I use just that part of the Writer's Solution? A. The Writers at Work videodisc is bar coded so that you can play the entire disc, pull out six-minute excerpts on specific writing modes, or access segments that discuss certain details like finding ideas, analyzing audience, or revising. So you can use the videodisc/videotape for numerous purposes: to introduce a writing mode, to let students hear a writer talk about his or her ways to overcome writing problems, or to motivate students to respond in writing. It can serve these purposes no matter what other components or texts you use to teach writing. Q.

Inquiry is applied when students conduct research on the historical aspects relating to the play: Pyramus and Thisbe, the Elizabethan Period, William Shakespeare, the Globe Theater, and the Hatfield-McCoy parallel. Inquiry is also utilized during the segment of the unit in which students are required to read the text, complete quizzes at Funbrain.com, and find examples of various themes and other literary devices utilized by Shakespeare throughout the play. The pieces of information extracted during the inquiry segment become building blocks for students to later write their essays and compose their Hyperstudio presentations.
