10-second review: By specifying audience, teachers found 6th-grade students attempting to assume an academic voice.
Title: “Developing Academic Identities: Persuasive Writing as a Tool to Strengthen Emergent Academic Identities.” PM Carbone and MF Orellano. Research in the Teaching of English (February 2010), pp. 292-316.
Summary: It is important to help students recognize their use of features of academic voice and help them to build on them.
Comment: I guess this means that the teacher identifies for students their use of formal standard English and encourages them to continue to add its features. RayS.
