I have a question for all of you ESoL teachers out there: how much writing 
do you do with your students, and what do you have them write about? Is 
teaching writing part of your curriculum, or is just part of your classes 
by chance ( a student needs to write a letter for a job or to ask for 
information, etc. and asks for help in class)? How do you structure a 
writing lesson? How do you use the final results, that is the completed 
piece of writing? Or do you just send it home with the student? If you had 
an opportunity to publish your students' writing, would you? (You know, if 
money, access to the equipment were NOT your concern).

I know this is sort of vague, but to be quite honest, I'm not sure just 
what it is I'm looking for right now. I have this idea in my head...and I'm 
hoping your thoughts will help me pull it into shape. Please respond 
directly to me at brownpg@jmu.edu

Thanks!!!

Pamela
