Today’s Topics: Audience and Purpose Plan/Assess a Grant Project: ICE The Writing Process—Technical vs. Personal “Voice” Example of Effective Grant Tools for Revising, Editing, Proofreading A Word about Titles A Few Reminders

Audience : Grant Review Committee They understand “best practices” in the curriculum areas discussed in your grant. They want to “see” a picture of how the money will impact the learning experiences of KISD students. They reach each grant and evaluate it according to the scoring criteria. The 3 Cs count: clear, correct and concise.

Personal vs. Technical Writing Technical Personal

Planning Projects: Balance ICE Instruction CurriculumEvaluation I nstruction: (Objectives): What will students learn? C urriculum (Teaching/Learning Activities): How will students learn? E valuation (Assessment): How do we know students have learned? (Klein ISD “Curriculum Planning” 10/3/2009)

Traditional Assessments true/false matching multiple choice fill in the blanks Effective assessments are reliable and valid Validity: Does the assessment measure what it is supposed to? Reliability: Is the assessment consistent? STANDARDIZED TESTS Criterion- referenced Norm- referenced SAT, ACT, PSAT, AP STAAR Assessment Techniques AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENTS Teacher observation Interviews Conferences Oral presentations Essays Summaries, Reports Journals Short answers Projects Self-evaluations Rubrics Performance Demonstrations Exhibitions Experiments Portfolios (Klein ISD “Curriculum Planning” 10/3/2009)

(The Writers Voice, 14) (Main Idea, Audience, Purpose) Planning 40% Drafting 10% Revising/Editing 40% (Organization, Sentence Fluency, Word Choice) Proofreading 10% (Mechanics & Grammar) 7 Presentation & Publication The Writing Process

General Writing Tips: Use key word(s) from “prompt” in opening sentence; Include bullets when appropriate; Change paragraphs as a visual aid to the readers; Use consistent fonts, margins, and white space for “reader friendliness;” Write tight; Eliminate “fillers,” overworked adjectives, all adverbs, passive verbs, educational jargon and “flowery language.”

Example of Effective Grant: Part A. A brief summary of grant proposal (150 words) Part B. Instructional Purpose and Goals (75 words) Part C. Enrichment and Support (75 words) Part D. Teaching and Learning Activities (150 words) Part E. Evaluation and Assessment (150 words) Part F. School and Community Partners (75 words) Part G. Budget and Composition Quality

Composition Quality: 3 C’s—Clear, Correct, Concise Tools for Editing, Revising, Proofreading: Eliminate Passive “be” Verbs. (20) “Write Tight.” (22) Good Grammar Counts! (30) Use A Grammar/Style Checker. (34) (Dozier, Lynne. The Writer’s Voice: Lessons in Composition, 2014)

Tips For Titles: Keep titles short: use subtitles if necessary. Use poetic techniques: Alliteration— “V-cubed: Voyaging Via Video- conference” Puns & Word Play— “The Easel Way to Write” Clever Acronyms— “O. S.C.A.R: Our School Cares About Books” Metaphor— “Aerobics for the Mind” Statement of Fact— “The Physics of Safe Evacuations” Use nouns/verbs; avoid adjectives and adverbs. (The Writer’s Voice, 54).

Keep in Mind: KEF raises money to give it away; Your ideas deserve funding; Do your homework; Don’t worry about being clever or cute; Do think about being clear, correct and concise; Write the grant and get it out the door.
