Synopsis

`[A] wonderful guide for different ways to approach writing in the classroom. Lesson ideas, rubrics, assessments, and activities all work together to help classroom teachers put together a comprehensive writing programme′ - Anchorage School District Book Review

This volume of differentiated writing strategies allows all teachers to teach writing at the same time that they teach content. Specific and explicit strategies allow teachers to work with student writers at all levels, in all learning styles, within all multiple intelligences, and at all developmental stages. Topics include writing styles (Scribbling, Picture Making, Story Telling, Letter Shaking, Copying, Sound Making, Sentence Making, Story Making); invented spelling; methods for assessing and remedying writing problems; flexible grouping; the complete writing process from Pre-Writing through First Draft, Revision, Editing, Final Copy, and Publication; an extensive selection of genres and formats appropriate to the different content areas (Writing A-Z); and guidelines on lesson planning that supports each student′s individual needs before, during, and after their writing experiences.
