Synopsis
Teachers will love this collection of remarkable writing samples, along with powerful strategies for using them to establish standards and to generate more effective classroom writing. This innovative book offers more than fifty mini-lessons that provide a hands-on, flexible approach to meeting the specific writing needs of pupils. These activities involve classes in evaluating writing samples and then applying what they have learned to their own work.The book is organised around the six key features of good writing: relevant and appropriate content; organisation that includes a logical beginning, middle, and end; sentence variety that adds interest; word choice that indicates an awareness of purpose and audience; an original and honest voice; and, an understanding of spelling, punctuation, and their usage. This resource is ideal for both new and experienced teachers, and clearly demonstrates how to collect and present samples of class work to engage young writers and model effective skills.
