Book Synopsis Teaching Middle School Writers by : Laura Robb
Download or read book Teaching Middle School Writers written by Laura Robb and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My whole goal with this book was to come at teaching writing from the angle that matters most: students' perspective. They taught me what I needed to know to make this book live up to their passion for writing." Laura Robb Adolescents have robust and rewarding writing lives outside of school that involve journals, emails, text messages, blogs, and an astounding array of genres. Unlike their personal reading lives that teachers frequently tap into, their personal writings typically exist under the curricular radar-that is until now. While grounded in the common schedule constraints and curriculum demands of middle school, Laura Robb's Teaching Middle School Writers offers teachers lessons and routines that are uncommonly attuned to adolescents' developmental and social needs. As she taps into the energy and enthusiasm of adolescents' personal writing lives, Laura presents: writing plans that support first drafts strategies for crafting leads that grab and endings that satisfy grammar lessons that address writing conventions editing lessons that have students revise their writing before the teacher reads it guidelines for grading and responding to student work. Straight-from-the-classroom writing samples and videos give teachers the opportunity to see how Laura uses compelling questions and powerful mentor texts to teach writing, support struggling writers, and weave twenty-first century literacies into the writing curriculum. Throughout, teachers learn ways of connecting to students' lives in order to bring out their best writing, their best self. Watch a video overview.

From the requirements of standardized tests to those of the wired workplace, the ability to write well, once a luxury, has become a necessity. Many students are leaving school without the necessary writing practice and skills needed to compete in a complex and fast-moving Information Age. Unless we teach them how to run with it, they are in danger of being run over by a stampede—a literacy stampede. InTeaching Adolescent Writers , Kelly Gallagher shows how students can be taught to write effectively. Gallagher shares a number of classroom-tested strategies that enable teachers to: Understand the importance of teaching writing and how to motivate young writers Show how modeling from both the teacher and real-world texts builds young writers Provide choice of what to write, which helps elevate adolescent writing, and how to fit it into a rigorous curriculum Help students recognize the importance of purpose and audience Assess essays in ways that drive better writing performance. Infused with humor and illuminating anecdotes, Gallagher draws on his classroom experiences and work as co-director of a regional writing project to offer teachers both practical ways to incorporate writing instruction into their day and compelling reasons to do so.

Book Synopsis Exchanging Lives by : Scott Christian
Download or read book Exchanging Lives written by Scott Christian and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which began as a teacher research project, goes inside the Anne Frank Conference, an online literary exchange among middle school students, to examine how the conference experience has fundamentally changed who the students are as writers. The book provides background by discussing the implementation of the Bread Loaf Rural Teachers Network (BLRTN)--a network of teachers from Arizona, Alaska, Vermont, South Carolina, Mississippi, and New Mexico--which grew from the recognition that rural teachers have limited staff development and collaboration opportunities, as compared to teachers in urban areas, and generally lag behind the educational mainstream in terms of technology and equity of funding. The book also sets the stage by "going to" Europe just prior to World War II and presenting various aspects of the historical period. Then, the book looks closely at the writing itself, using a specific taxonomy developed to better understand the new literacy which is emerging. Noting that the writing that emerged was striking in its quality and honesty, the book finds that individual responses to the "Diary of Anne Frank" grew into an online dialogue about growing up, human nature, literature, life, and more. One particular student's experience as a participant in the Anne Frank Conference is recounted in detail in the book. Finally, some of the implications of the online exchange are discussed in terms of the literacy of the students and of the participating teachers. (NKA)
