Such a research agenda should also identify the effects of these practices on different groups of learners, including those not usually considered successful in learning science. WRITING AND MULTI-MODAL LEARNING OF SCIENCE The recent research interest in writing for learning in science also parallels a growing recognition of the key importance of understanding and conceptually integrating different representational forms in learning science and learning how to think and act scientifically (Ainsworth, 1999; Dolin, 2001; Lemke, 1998; 2001, 2002b; Roth, 1995; Russell & McGuigan, 2001; Stenning, 1998).
125) these genres, for the purposes of learning science in schools, included procedural recounts, explanations, descriptive reports, taxonomic reports, expositions and discussions. While Unsworth (200 I) has recognized that lengthy texts often blended different generic structures and purposes, he continued to assert that student writers needed to learn the form/function relationships of distinctive science genres if they were to become scientifically literate. Various implications follow from this focus.
Having written text in front of them, which may consist of only a phrase, allows the learner to feedback through the system again to produce further writing. This feedback loop can only start when there is text in front of the leaner. Each time the learner cycles through this feedback loop, the fewer connections within their writer's disposition will be activated until a stable state has been reached, that is, no more activation of the writer's disposition occurs. This process of producing a sentence means that the knowledge originally stored is now represented differently because some meanings have been omitted in the process of deciding what to include and some were lost in the production of the sentence.
