More specifically, La escritura has been designed to help students advance progressively from Intermediate Low or Mid levels towards Advanced Low or Mid levels of performance. La escritura paso a paso facilitates the teaching of writing because it provides the instructor and the students with clear objectives, tools to achieve them and rubrics to evaluate progress. From the Back Cover La escritura paso a paso Paloma Lapuerta * Gustavo Mejia La escritura paso a paso is an innovative text carefully designed for your Spanish Composition course. This text goes beyond the traditional understanding of process writing as pre-, during-, and post-writing tasks by including the pedagogical means for students to progress from Intermediate to Advanced levels of proficiency as defined in the writing guidelines developed by ACTFL. Activities in La escritura paso a paso are designed to help students compose writings that meet the functions, contents and contexts, text-types, and accuracy that define the Intermediate-level writer. Projects increase in difficulty to help students progress to the next level; rubrics and the Controla tu progreso sections guide students in evaluating their improvements.
