I started thinking about my writing, what I have written, what I enjoy writing, and what can actually be put in a publishable format. Looking over the Indiana academic standards I am going to focus on English/Language Arts Standards--Standard 4: The writing process includes pre-writing, drafting, editing, and revising. Students progress through these stages to write clear, coherent, and focused paragraphs and essays. Standard 5: Through the exploration of different types of writing and the characteristics of each, students become proficient at narrative (stories), expository (informational), descriptive (sensory), persuasive (emotional appeal), argumentative (logical defense), and technical writing. Writing demonstrates an awareness of the audience (intended reader) and purpose for writing. Standard 6 English Language Conventions include the grade-level-appropriate mechanics of writing, such as penmanship, spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, and manuscript form.
As I do some more research and develop a format for my possible mother's devotional book--I will look at my work from these standards.
