Educare a scrivere

Overview & Synopsis

This volume presents a series of educational pathways dedicated to writing, developed through a research experience that involve different educational contexts united by the aim of bringing together creativity and competence. Conducted over two academic years, the project engaged students from different levels of schooling in meaningful and motivating processes of textual production, encouraging reflection on their work and collaboration with peers. The experiences described in the book show how students progressively approach writing: first experimenting with it spontaneously, then acquiring basic compositional principles, reflecting on the communicative value of their texts, and learning to interpret both their own writing and that of others. Along this path, they also discover the possibilities offered by combining words, images, and sounds. Writing, in this perspective, is not an innate gift but a competence that develops gradually through sustained educational practice. This applies to every form of writing, from the most personal to those intended for public contexts, and from texts made only of words to those that integrate language with images and sounds. The authors of the volume are the students and teachers involved in the project, together with the researchers who accompanied them in their work. The editors are Alessandra Anichini, researcher at INDIRE, and Alberto Parola, professor at the University of Turin”.
