Download or read book Revision Decisions written by Jeff Anderson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revision is often a confusing and difficult process for students, but it's also the most important part of the writing process. If students leave our classrooms not knowing how to move a piece of writing forward, we've failed them. Revision Decisions: Talking Through Sentences and Beyond will help teachers develop the skills students need in an ever-evolving writing, language, and reading world. Jeff Anderson and Deborah Dean have written a book that engages writers in the tinkering, playing, and thinking that are essential to clarify and elevate writing. Focusing on sentences, the authors use mentor texts to show the myriad possibilities that exist for revision. Essential to their process is the concept of classroom talk. Readers will be shown how revision lessons can be discussed in a generative way, and how each student can benefit from talking through the revision process as a group. Revision Decisions focuses on developing both the writing and the writer. The easy-to-follow lessons make clear and accessible the rigorous thinking and the challenging process of making writing work. Narratives, setup lessons, templates, and details about how to move students toward independence round out this essential book. Additionally, the authors weave the language, reading, and writing goals of the Common Core and other standards into an integrated and connected practice. The noted language arts teacher James Britton once said that good writing floats on a sea of talk. Revision Decisions supports those genuine conversations we naturally have as readers and writers, leading the way to the essential goal of making meaning.

Download or read book Clause Combining in Grammar and Discourse written by John Haiman and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally the study of syntax is restricted to the study of what goes on within the boundaries of the prosodic sentence. Although the nature of clause combining within a prosodic sentence has always been a central concern of traditional syntax (in GG, e.g. it underlies important research on deletion and anaphora), work within a discourse analysis framework has hardly been done. Analyses like this are given in the present volume.
Download or read book Holy Grammar written by Elise Bishop and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A workbook like no other, Holy Grammar teaches basic grammar skills using examples and exercises only from Scripture. Students apply sentence combining techniques to over 200 Bible verses to improve the complexity, correctness, and variety of sentences in their own writing. Designed for use in a composition class, Holy Grammar was written by a secondary and college composition and grammar instructor with over 35 years of experience in the classroom. In a challenging way that relies more on intrinsic knowledge of language than memorization of rules, the exercises provide students with the practice they need to produce (and correctly punctuate) a variety of sentence types. The teaching tips included demonstrate flexible methods for teachers who want to incorporate the lessons into their classes. With the Bible itself serving as the answer key, students have the ability to check their own work. A grammar review section examines parts of speech, clauses and phrases, and basic sentence types and patterns. The skills presented in this workbook lay the foundation for more advanced grammar study.
