The author examined how the utilization of technology could impact students' narrative writing. A common issue that arises in the teaching of writing is students' ability to conceptualize a topic to write about. Often, students' writing is focused on school events and activities rather than reflecting their cultural wealth that take place outside of school. Drawing inspiration from Moll, Amanti, Neff, and Gonzalez's seminal study on how home visits can incorporate students' funds of knowledge into the curriculum, the author suggests student and family-provided photographs into the writing workshop could create a more reciprocal relationship with students' families.

Abstract. In family systems, it is possible for one to put oneself at risk by eliciting aversive, high-risk behaviors from others ( Cook, Kenny, & Goldstein, 1991 ). Consequently, it is desirable that family assessments should clarify the direction of effects when evaluating family dynamics. In this paper a new method of family assessment will be presented that identifies bidirectional influence processes in family relationships. Based on the Social Relations Model (SRM: Kenny & La Voie, 1984 ), the SRM Family Assessment provides information about the give and take of family dynamics at three levels of analysis: group, individual, and dyad. The method will be briefly illustrated by the assessment of a family from the PIER Program, a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to prevent the onset of psychosis in high-risk young people.
