Download or read book Writing for Pleasure written by Ross Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores what writing for pleasure means, and how it can be realised as a much-needed pedagogy whose aim is to develop children, young people, and their teachers as extraordinary and life-long writers. The approach described is grounded in what global research has long been telling us are the most effective ways of teaching writing and contains a description of the authors’ own research project into what exceptional teachers of writing do that makes the difference. The authors describe ways of building communities of committed and successful writers who write with purpose, power, and pleasure, and they underline the importance of the affective aspects of writing teaching, including promoting in apprentice writers a sense of self-efficacy, agency, self-regulation, volition, motivation, and writer-identity. They define and discuss 14 research-informed principles which constitute a Writing for Pleasure pedagogy and show how they are applied by teachers in classroom practice. Case studies of outstanding teachers across the globe further illustrate what world-class writing teaching is. This ground-breaking text is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the current status and nature of writing teaching in schools. The rich Writing for Pleasure pedagogy presented here is a radical new conception of what it means to teach young writers effectively today.

This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talk for Writing, developed by Pie Corbett and supported by Julia Strong, is a proven approach to teaching writing that is engaging and motivating for students and teachers alike. Building on best practice, this practical guide takes you step by step through how to establish quality written communication across the secondary curriculum. It can be used as a handbook by a literacy coordinator to lead the approach as well as being a source of practical ideas for each subject area. Every teacher can help students internalize the pattern of language of their subject through focused talk activities related to exemplar text. This enables students to independently generate the sentence patterns and structures that are key to effective communication in any subject. Julia Strong puts the experience of the learner at the centre. By establishing some consistent approaches across the curriculum, the learner can see how what they learn in one area can be transferred to support learning in another. The approach progressively builds up students' linguistic competence involving them in co-constructing the next steps they need to take to make progress. This practical resource offers: • Wide range of examples from all subject areas with a particular focus on science • Online Learning Centre with training session with teachers showing Talk for Writing in action suitable to use on training days to help introduce and embed the approach • Over 80 customisable handouts downloadable from the Online Learning Centre • Customisable PowerPoint slides to train all staff in the approach Thoroughly grounded in the principles of formative assessment, Talk for Writing if systematically applied across the curriculum really can turn secondary students into powerful communicators. Try it, it works! 'Silent classrooms do not lend themselves to progress, the Foreword to this important new book reminds us. What follows is an exceptionally well-informed and practical guide to how high quality talk can lead to high quality writing. I strongly recommend it for all teachers across all subjects'.

Download or read book Learning to Read and Write Through Classroom Talk written by Peter Geekie and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 1993 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting that conversation between adults and young children is a well-known stimulus to language development, but that conversation is seldom fully used in the classroom, this paper argues that conversations can and should be used more. It presents a range of research findings and classroom examples to support that argument. Chapter 1 examines the role of talk in the learning process and chapter 2 discusses Vygotsky's theory of sign operations and cognitive development. Chapter 3 explains Bruner's thesis of a Language Acquisition Support System. Examples of literacy activities in the classroom are presented in chapter 4. Chapter 5 examines the role of teacher-child conversation in the development of writing skills in a study of children during their first formal year of schooling. Chapter 6 offers an example of how a young child uses spoken language to control such mental processes as attention and memory and uses these skills in the process of learning written language. The final chapter proposes that teachers develop a familiarity with their students that is tied to classroom activities and situations in order to encourage more productive types of talk in the educational setting.

Download or read book It Goes Without Saying written by Chandra Lynette Alston and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing research, primarily done in the 1980s, led to better understanding of writing as a recursive social process and affected change in many language arts classrooms. However, more research is needed to determine what instructional practices around writing are effective in supporting students who struggle with writing, particularly African American students. The achievement gap in American schools is widely documented; this gap is especially wide with regard the writing achievement of African American students. As a group, African Americans scored in the lowest percentile across all grades tested on the 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) writing exam and the 2007 NAEP writing exam scores continue to show a drop in the percentage of African American students at proficient between eighth and twelfth grade. This is a case study of two middle school English/Language Arts teachers chosen from a larger pool of effective teachers based on value-added measures, and observational data from a prior study. The author investigated the instructional practices of these teachers in one predominantly African American middle school and their impact on the development of students' writing skills and identities as writers. Data included classroom observations, student and teacher interviews, class sets of student writing from the beginning and end of the academic year, and artifacts such as graphic organizers and rubrics. The aim of this study was not to pinpoint one best way of teaching writing, but to develop a better understanding of the ways we can support struggling writers, particularly African American students, to develop their writing skills and a writer's identity. From this work, certain facets of teaching seem particularly supportive during the teaching of writing with African American students: namely, the use of writing talk as a mechanism to bridge between students' and the academic writing required in schools today. This talk creates opportunities for students to engage with models and their peers in ways that support engagement and persistence, and approximate the practice of experienced writers.

Download or read book Unlocking the Power of Classroom Talk written by Shana Frazin and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shana Frazin and Katy Wischow passionately believe in the need to help students develop strong talk skills across the school day, in every subject, to prepare them for their academic lives and lives as active citizens outside of school. Using a unique "cycle" for talk that's similar to the writing process (generating, choosing, developing, acting, and reflecting), they name the predictable things we do most times we engage in a conversation, and show us how we can teach into those parts. Shana and Katy provide practical strategies for teaching four important purposes for talk that exist both in the classroom and in the real world: - talking to build relationships - talking to play with ideas - talking to clarify, analyze, and argue - talking to report. They offer a clear description of each purpose, the "when and how" to teach into those purposes, and what to do when things go awry. Classroom video brings the content to life showing what the talk looks and sounds like in action.

Download or read book Teaching Middle School Writers written by Laura Robb and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My whole goal with this book was to come at teaching writing from the angle that matters most: students' perspective. They taught me what I needed to know to make this book live up to their passion for writing." Laura Robb Adolescents have robust and rewarding writing lives outside of school that involve journals, emails, text messages, blogs, and an astounding array of genres. Unlike their personal reading lives that teachers frequently tap into, their personal writings typically exist under the curricular radar-that is until now. While grounded in the common schedule constraints and curriculum demands of middle school, Laura Robb's Teaching Middle School Writers offers teachers lessons and routines that are uncommonly attuned to adolescents' developmental and social needs. As she taps into the energy and enthusiasm of adolescents' personal writing lives, Laura presents: writing plans that support first drafts strategies for crafting leads that grab and endings that satisfy grammar lessons that address writing conventions editing lessons that have students revise their writing before the teacher reads it guidelines for grading and responding to student work. Straight-from-the-classroom writing samples and videos give teachers the opportunity to see how Laura uses compelling questions and powerful mentor texts to teach writing, support struggling writers, and weave twenty-first century literacies into the writing curriculum. Throughout, teachers learn ways of connecting to students' lives in order to bring out their best writing, their best self. Watch a video overview.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IMHO, LOL, OIC, OMG. If you’ve recently graded middle school or high school writing, chances are you’ve read terms like these; or my favorite, “wtf - idk” which also happened to be an answer on a student’s quiz. As a middle school English teacher, I became more and more perplexed to see students using texting talk on their homework, and classroom writing assignments; not to mention answers on the writing portion of the state standardized test. My students were not differentiating appropriate writing contexts. The answers written on the unit test were written the same way that they invited their friends to hang @ *$ (Starbucks). How do we as educators and parents allow students to creatively express themselves, support them academically, and prepare them for a professional world built on written and verbal communication? Herein lies this text. Hopefully it will alleviate the concerns of those who are worried about the disintegration of the English language and help those ISO (in search of) strategies to support textspeaking learners.
