• they talk

The Letter to a teacher of students School Barbiana, who founded the priest Lorenzo Milani is a shining example of what is and what the intention of collective writing techniques.

For Milani, the objective was not to be the voice of the voiceless, but them speak, they speak them.

• The experience of the Home-School Santiago 1

The image that opens this post is the cover of a booklet published in 1979 by José Luis Corzo , designed to show collective ecrit made by Students at the school house James 1 of Salamanca.

students themselves speak well of his home-school:

"... We want to make a community no differences. First of all equality and mutual aid. For example, we sort each other and try to solve the problems by providing ideas and working together.

What are men looking for actors, namely, that every kid to work for yourself and stop being a parasite, to be able to always help the weak. ... "

• What is the technique of Writing Class?

Basic information on this file is taken from: Write together. Education Magazine (NOS) n º 31-32. Milani Group , edited by Milani Group.

Stage One: Accumulation of ideas and preparation of a text together.

1. Choose the subject and his reader ("what" and "for whom")

2. In small group looking for information, data, references. Are recorded on slips loose the ideas that emerge.

3. We read the papers, they go in large group discussion. They are classified into piles (the chapters are formed.)

4. Arrange each pile of ballots. Remove the repetitions, but leave the contradictions. Write short sentences. Write text followed. For this we choose a rapporteur for the group and progress is made on a large group.

5. Decide what will be the chapters and text structure. There is a first draft with a very wide margin.

Stage Two: Discussion, correction and improvement.

6. Discussion and proofreading. They form small groups and reviewed the text drawn in the previous stage. Noted in the margin (what's missing?, What is repeated, how to merge ideas?, What we disagree?, Are there gaps? Are there issues that extend? To look for information or appointments? .) In the text accumulate and overlap discrepancies, not hidden (some say, others say ,..). Additional data is sought consultation documents or by asking experts.

7. Simplification and beauty of the text. Remove the excess: adjectives, repetitions. Putting verbs color. Make short sentences. Highlight important ideas by placing them in an opening paragraph. Search suggestive titles to the chapters. Ending with a short exposure.

8. Test text ears and eyes of others. Do not accept advice (censorship), only truth and clarity.

9. Let stand and approve the final text in an assembly.

NOTE: Always have a moderator-host meetings and a rapporteur. Need not always be the same people. It may be a rotational basis.
