Synopsis

"The writing lessons in this book are organized to quickly unpack the detail move, explain when and why the strategy works well, share how I have taught it to my students, and offer ways to make it your own."
--Rozlyn Linder

Have you ever told a writer to add more details, only to see their writing get longer not better? That's why Roz Linder wrote The Big Book of Details. "To help our students use details and elaborate effectively," she writes, "we need to find out what they want their writing to do, and then show them explicit moves to make it happen."

Roz breaks elaboration into 5 categories and shares 46 lessons based on the moves that professional writers use. With if-then charts that connect student needs to just-right strategies, you'll help writers master details that:

• Describe for people, places, and things
• Dance for showing action and sequencing events
• Convince for questions, persuasion, and arguments
• Inform for defining, comparing, and clarifying
• Speak for conversation and speech.

The Big Book of Details supports planning and on-the-go teaching for one-on-one conferences, whole-class instruction, or commercial writing programs. Its lessons are organized to help kids understand each move quickly. Roz's strategy lessons include:

• examples from real-world writers
• the reason writers use the strategy
• advice for introducing it to writers
• ideas for guided practice with writers
• examples of one of Roz's famous classroom charts

"This is what I want for my students," writes Roz Linder, "to use details in their writing in a meaningful way that conveys their ideas and their purpose." If you want that too, then make her Big Book of Details part of your teaching toolkit.

For Rozlyn Linder, watching students grow as learners was the only thing more inspiring than watching teachers grow as professionals. As a literacy specialist, a blogger, a high-demand consultant, the author of the Heinemann title The Big Book of Details, and author of the bestselling Chart Sense series, Roz loved to help colleagues take complicated research and turn it into classroom-ready teaching ideas. Her early passing was a huge loss to teachers and students everywhere. We at Heinemann miss her joy, her kindness, and her wonderful laughter. We wish we'd had more time to spend with her and more chances to share her work with teachers.
