Synopsis
This simple book explores the elements and mechanics of good writing, including punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. It shows how young writers can use the best books as models, and it highlights the role of special tools―such as bullets―to add material without burdening the reader.
How Bullets Saved My Life looks at writing as a craft. It calls for a deeper understanding of the writing process and the use of good tools to help students build their own stories. Organized around the 6 + 1 writing traits, the book breaks writing into manageable parts to help both students and teachers deal with the complex process. It also offers original insights into the following areas:
- Finding and organizing ideas
- Exploring voice
- Considering word choice
- Building fluency
- Understanding conventions
- Reflecting on visual presentation
The book is based on the power of the reading–writing connection. It argues for incorporating the best books possible to demonstrate specific skills and using favorite authors to make students more engaged in their writing. A wealth of powerful models for promoting literacy using children's literature is at the book's core. It explores how teachers can guide students to read their favorite books and learn interesting new words, clever ways to start stories, catchy titles, and even how to end stories well. These writing strategies and activities are as effective with struggling students as they are with strong students.
