A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Turn to this unique new resource for an illustrative look at improving students’ writing through a sound combination of research-based authentic writing samples and positive coaching conversations. A guide, an incentive, and a model for success, this book uses real classroom writing and pedagogical elements that provide specific context, research connections, teacher talk, and most importantly, students’ writing examples to help teachers teach writing in preschool through grade 6.

 

Writing Is Like Real Talk! encourages teachers to reflect on how they teach writing–and to use what they learn from students’ writing to inform their instruction. In addition to the outstanding pedagogical aids, each chapter includes authentic writing samples and coaching conversations specific to students’ needs. Armed with these classroom-based scenarios, instructors can enhance the development of teacher talk that acknowledges students as writers, facilitates students’ meaning making, and enables students to move toward writer consciousness. In these pages readers get information they can put to immediate use in the classroom, including:

 

• Important background knowledge.
• A firm foundation for effective coaching conversations.
• A consistent format that discusses seven pedagogical elements throughout – Context, Research Corner, Writing Sample, Coaching Conversation, Assessment, Teacher Comments, and Questions for Consideration.
• A look at IRA/NCTE Standards for the English Language Arts, Common Core State Standards, and national content standards.
• Illustrative examples of student writing within the text, and in an appendix at the end of the book.
