The Four Square Writing Method is a simplified graphic organizer for teaching writing to children in school. While primarily used to teach persuasive writing, it has also been used to help teach deconstruction. The method was developed by Judith S. Gould and Evan Jay Gould in 1999. It was developed initially for primary school students, but it has also been used in high school classes. ==Method== The method is primarily a visual framework for assisting students with formulating ideas in an organized manner prior to writing an essay. The concept generally works as follows: # A large square is drawn and divided into four smaller squares of equal size. An additional rectangle is drawn in the center of the figure overlapping each of the other four squares. A total of five rectangles are thus created. # The student . # Then, the student writes three sentences that develop the thesis of the central topic, placing one in each of the following squares: upper-left, upper-right, and lower-left. The upper-left square contains the opening supportive sentence, and the next two squares contain other supporting information. # Finally, the student writes a summary sentence in the lower-right square. The summary sentence describes how the reader is intended to feel about the topic. Variations of the above rules may require more or less development in each of the rectangles, depending on the grade-level or maturity of the student. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Four Square Writing Method」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
