To transform a school into a school of writing teachers follow these steps. 1. Whenever a question is asked, in or out of class, the questioner puts one hand behind her ear, to indicate a complete sentence answer is hoped for. 2. When most people on campus understand this routine, the questioner may add, at her discretion, a request for detail sentences by pointing her forefingers at each other and rolling them. 3. When this routine is generally mastered, the questioner may ask a question and clap once, indicating an answer is hoped for that contains a "because," i.e. a statement that is supported by evidence. With these three steps everyone, teachers, students, administrators, office staff, custodians, playground aides, bus drivers, cafeteria workers will be helping students speak paragraphs!
