From the Paper:

"Teaching students to write is one of the most important duties that a teacher is charged with. Written communication skills are a vital part of education, employment and other aspects of life. It is rated so highly in the field of education that many states require that public school students go through a writing assessment at various grade levels for the purpose of assessing the writing lessons and curriculum(Barenbaum, 1988)."
"Teachers are constantly on the lookout for lesson plans or ideas that will help teach writing skills to their students."
