Download or read book The Writing Revolution written by Judith C. Hochman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why you need a writing revolution in your classroom and how to lead it The Writing Revolution (TWR) provides a clear method of instruction that you can use no matter what subject or grade level you teach. The model, also known as The Hochman Method, has demonstrated, over and over, that it can turn weak writers into strong communicators by focusing on specific techniques that match their needs and by providing them with targeted feedback. Insurmountable as the challenges faced by many students may seem, The Writing Revolution can make a dramatic difference. And the method does more than improve writing skills. It also helps: Boost reading comprehension Improve organizational and study skills Enhance speaking abilities Develop analytical capabilities The Writing Revolution is as much a method of teaching content as it is a method of teaching writing. There's no separate writing block and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt the TWR strategies and activities to their current curriculum and weave them into their content instruction. But perhaps what's most revolutionary about the TWR method is that it takes the mystery out of learning to write well. It breaks the writing process down into manageable chunks and then has students practice the chunks they need, repeatedly, while also learning content.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of Writing Across the Curriculum to Produce Scientifically Literate Students in Secondary Schools written by Alethea Hicks and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this literature review was to examine Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) and interdisciplinary teaching of science as a viable alternative to traditional disciplinary science teaching to help students develop the critical thinking and literacy skills called for by both the National Science Education Standards (National Research Council [NRC], 1996) and Benchmarks for Science Literacy (American Association for the Advancement of Science [AAAS], 1993). Through a careful analysis of anecdotal, qualitative, and quantitative studies regarding WAC in secondary science education, this review found that while there is evidence to support the effectiveness of WAC's Writing- To-Learn (WTL) methods for improving student science learning in individual classrooms at the teachers' discretion, there is insufficient evidence for redoing science curricula to incorporate WAC techniques, activities, and strategies throughout. The WAC methods that are supported at the secondary level that individual teachers might integrate into their lessons include learning logs, writing for an audience other than the teacher, writing in different genres in science, planning activities, and multiple writing tasks, as well as two techniques developed specifically for writing in science, multimodal representations and the Science Writing Heuristic. Keywords: Writing Across the Curriculum, Writing-To-Learn, science literacy, science education, secondary education, Writing-To-Communicate, interdisciplinary education.

This study has documented many examples of students writing and talking about a wide variety of topics. Their work has been a constant source of interest and so have the contexts from which it came.

Download or read book Reading Reconsidered written by Doug Lemov and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ WITH PRECISION AND INSIGHT The world we are preparing our students to succeed in is one bound together by words and phrases. Our students learn their literature, history, math, science, or art via a firm foundation of strong reading skills. When we teach students to read with precision, rigor, and insight, we are truly handing over the key to the kingdom. Of all the subjects we teach reading is first among equals. Grounded in advice from effective classrooms nationwide, enhanced with more than 40 video clips, Reading Reconsidered takes you into the trenches with actionable guidance from real-life educators and instructional champions. The authors address the anxiety-inducing world of Common Core State Standards, distilling from those standards four key ideas that help hone teaching practices both generally and in preparation for assessments. This 'Core of the Core' comprises the first half of the book and instructs educators on how to teach students to: read harder texts, 'closely read' texts rigorously and intentionally, read nonfiction more effectively, and write more effectively in direct response to texts. The second half of Reading Reconsidered reinforces these principles, coupling them with the 'fundamentals' of reading instruction—a host of techniques and subject specific tools to reconsider how teachers approach such essential topics as vocabulary, interactive reading, and student autonomy. Reading Reconsidered breaks an overly broad issue into clear, easy-to-implement approaches. Filled with practical tools, including: 44 video clips of exemplar teachers demonstrating the techniques and principles in their classrooms (note: for online access of this content, please visit my.teachlikeachampion.com) Recommended book lists Downloadable tips and templates on key topics like reading nonfiction, vocabulary instruction, and literary terms and definitions. Reading Reconsidered provides the framework necessary for teachers to ensure that students forge futures as lifelong readers.
