| dcterms.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate effective methods that help students with learning disabilities achieve better quality writing. The types of methods that were reviewed were authentic writing projects, process writing, and peer work through the analysis of scholarly and personal research. Using technology to enhance understanding was also evaluated in relation to these methods. The study concluded that these effective methods increase student motivation because of their applicability to the real world. The study also concluded that as a result of the motivation produced by authentic writing projects, students develop more confidence in themselves as writers and better writing skills that they can use after they leave the academic setting. | |
