The purpose of Thinking through Writing is to prove thinking skills are taught best through writing. All parts of the brain and all types of learning styles are used in writing activities, simultaneously instructing thinking skills. This book provides an example of a writing course, illustrating how thinking and writing converge, and is addressed to college instructors, although it would be useful for instructors on any educational level. The premise of the book is based on aesthetics, promoting curiosity and influencing thinking in the learner. Four proactive elements of thinking skills instruction: Preparation, Exploratory Writing, Formal Writing and Independent Writing, guide the process. The elements, examples, and guidelines for planning learner centered instruction and positive assessment practice increased student engagement through writing activities, applicable in all content areas.
