Abstract
While research on self-regulated learning and teaching is on the rise, writing is a task with which many high school students continue to struggle. It is encouraging that some teachers are cognizant of the importance of considering self-regulation and motivation levels of students as they design innovative and effective writing lesson plans. In this chapter, two exemplary writing lesson plans are presented, followed by teacher reflections, and an analysis of how each lesson plan addresses the construct of self-regulation.
