It is important to keep the feedback loop for publishing as tight as possible. Student writing teams need to create, test and publish their recipes over as few days as possible. This keeps the teams dedicated, focused, and efficient. Recipe posters hanging above the mini-centers. Video recipes which students narrate.
Audio tape recipes with student narrations.
Videotapes of the writing team leading a tutorial for the entire class or for a fellow team. Business cards which list successfully completed recipes as students' areas so that the teacher and other students can call on the students as a consultant or trainer. Teachers need to take advantage of the recipes as a means for personal skill development and in-class inservicing. The teacher can demand a high level of accuracy, punctuation, clarity, simplicity, and good grammar in all writing submitted for her approval. The teacher must stay in the cookbook-creation loop.
