A Powerful Tool: Writing Based on Knowledge and Understanding

The National Writing Project (NWP) made a tremendous contribution to help teachers learn to write. In the early 1970s, researchers such as Donald Graves and Janet Emig began studying how authors think and create great works. The book by NWP's book "Written by writings" further documented the development of composition guidance and understanding as a process, not just a product. This work has developed into a "writing process" familiar to teachers and emphasizes the importance of the writing stage. Writing, drafting, modification, editing, and disclosure. In the past 30 years, many teachers and schools have established process writing in various forms, usually by writing workshops. However, it is clear that teacher assistance is necessary even after 30 years or more from the "writing process". As people understand, teaching the writing process is not enough. For students to write well, they must learn the basics of concentration knowledge, content knowledge such as concentration, organization, appropriate voice and condition, and effective sentences.

Knowledge is power, knowledge without understanding is worthless. The power I am referring to is not the power of others, but the power of my consciousness. As it became easier to master knowledge more than twenty years ago, you can become "experts" of almost everything by simply "searching for the google" and gathering information and analyzing it. But unless we have all the information and skills to form a coherent viewpoint, we may be able to lower the information and knowledge. There is a clear difference between the need for these skills and the existence of young people growing today. These skills are not only key to acquiring knowledge through the classification of the huge amount of information available to us but also a fundamental intangible asset promoting the transformation of labor force.

In Anan's words, "Knowledge is power, information is liberation, education is a premise of progress in every society, every family." When we build a community education tool for everyone, we resonate with the team To do. Knowledge is power, and information is questionable about today's false information which is liberation, we believe that everyone should get the information they receive.
