Apangea Learning Writing
According to The Nation's Report Card: Writing 2007, only one-third of the nation's 8th grade students and roughly a quarter of its high school seniors are proficient writers. Apangea Learning is committed to changing this by helping every student achieve writing proficiency at a fraction of the cost of traditional tutoring. Welcome to Apangea Learning Writing.
A supplement to traditional curriculum, Apangea Learning Writing provides cost-effective, differentiated writing instruction through a one-student-to-one-teacher approach that integrates our proprietary tutoring technology with live, online certified teachers. Our research-based, six-step writing process teaches students the critical steps necessary to develop strong writing skills and achieve academic success. A Web-based solution, Apangea Learning Writing can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection-ensuring that students can improve their writing skills anytime, anywhere.
Becoming a strong writer requires diligent practice coupled with attentive feedback throughout the entire writing process. With ever-increasing workloads, teachers are challenged to provide the detailed, timely feedback a student needs in each step. Apangea Learning Writing does the "heavy lifting" by providing initial feedback and guidance that frees classroom teachers to focus on value-added activities.
Key features of Apangea Learning Writing include:
Structure Writing Process
Based on one of the world's largest bodies of cognitive research, Apangea Learning Writing's six-step writing process teaches students not only a framework on how to write, but also the critical skills needed to become a strong writer. These steps include: Confirmation of Assignment; Write a Thesis; Researching; Outlining; Rough Draft; and Editing and Proofreading.
Just-in-Time Lessons
Apangea Learning Writing includes Just-in-Time Lessons-real-time, interactive lessons that teach the key steps in the writing process: Confirmation of Assignment; Write a Thesis; Researching; Outlining; Rough Draft; and Editing and Proofreading. At the end of each lesson, students take a short quiz before beginning the next step in their assignment, ensuring they have learned the material.
Feedback from Live, Online Certified Teachers
Students submit their assignments to Apangea Learning's live, online tutors at three key points in the writing process: thesis statement, outline and rough draft. Graded on a research-based rubric, tutors provide feedback that is specific to each student's individual assignment and includes clear suggestions for improvement where needed. Unlike the normal classroom where feedback is provided the next day or even the next week, Apangea Learning Writing tutors provide feedback within minutes.
Integrated Reference Resources
Multi-media research resources, including many from Encyclopaedia Britannica®, have been integrated into each assignment to provide students with the critical reference and learning resource information they need, when they need it.
