(Gr. 5+)
Research clearly shows that systematic, explicit strategy instruction, prewriting activities, and the study of models are key elements in helping students become better writers—and you’ll find those elements woven into the lessons of this book. Veteran teacher Marilyn Pryle shares her carefully developed, classroom tested lessons that show students how to plan, revise, and edit essays. Students will build exactly the kind of skills they’ll need to do well on state assessments and communicate effectively in high school and beyond. For each highly motivating assignment, you’ll find three mini lessons, sample student essays, grading sheets, prewriting forms, and organizational tips. Students will not only learn how to write, they will want to write as well!
