Download or read book Lesson Plans for Teaching Writing written by Chris Jennings Dixon and published by National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte). This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do students often graduate from high school unprepared for college writing? And what can we do about it? These are the questions that a group of classroom teachers set out to explore. Over the course of seven years, a group of middle, high school, college, and university teachers participated in a federally funded writing coalition project to implement innovative approaches to teaching writing. Together they developed this series of lesson plans designed to make writing both fun and an integral part of diverse curricula. "Practical" is the recurrent motif of each teaching strategy. Developed by real teachers in real classrooms, the lessons are grouped into seven categories: writing process, portfolios, literature, research, grammar, writing on demand, and media. Each lesson follows a standard format that includes purpose of the activity; necessary preparation; required props and materials; process and procedure for implementation; instructional pointers and/or possible pitfalls; and reflections from the teacher that provide "behind the scenes" insights.

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 Save the World on Your Own Time written by Stanley Fish and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative look at higher education, Stanley Fish argues that there is but one proper role for the academe in society: to advance bodies of knowledge and to equip students for doing the same. When teachers offer themselves as moralists, political activists, or agents of social change rather than as credentialed experts in a particular subject they abdicate their true purpose. And yet professors now routinely bring their political views into the classroom and seek to influence the political views of their students under the guise of academic freedom. Fish argues that academic freedom, correctly understood, is the freedom to do the academic job, not the freedom to do any job that comes into the professor's mind.
Download or read book ABC Writing Lesson written by CHARAN. LANGTON and published by . This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ABC Writing Lesson is your child's first step to handwriting. By now, your child can hold a pencil and draw short straight lines, triangles, squares, and circles. Great! It's time to learn letters. After writing letters becomes automatic, your child will combine them effortlessly into words. Next, she will write words as they pop into her mind, not thinking about the individual letters. She will focus on the content and not on the hand movement. Handwriting and reading go together. Developing handwriting skills will speed up learning to read. The ABC Writing Lesson follows the alphabet and provides practice pages for lower and uppercase letters, and numbers. Have your child use a soft lead pencil, perhaps with a pencil grip. Remind her not to hold the pencil too tightly and not to press it too hard on the page. For younger children with less developed fine motor control, consider a crayon; using a regular pencil or pen might be too difficult. You will find the upper and lowercase letters are similar in size. At this point only the shape is important; understanding of scale comes later. Ask your child to trace the letters and copy them in the blank areas with lines. Encourage your child to stay within the lines when tracing letters but not be too strict about how she forms them. Only practice and repetition matter at this point. Every child has a unique writing style and follows their own path of motor development. Be patient, and practice will work its magic. There is a dotted line around the main picture; have your child trace it. The dotted pictures are also for the child to trace and color for better fine motor control. If you need additional practice pages, go to the expanded version of this book in printable PDF format on our website, www.readinglesson.com. When ready, move on to the Teach Me Handwriting book in this series. Happy writing from the Giggle Bunny and the Reading Lesson team.
Download or read book Versions of Academic Freedom written by Stanley Fish and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates of academic freedom often view it as a variation of the right to free speech and an essential feature of democracy. Stanley Fish argues here for a narrower conception of academic freedom, one that does not grant academics a legal status different from other professionals. Providing a blueprint for the study of academic freedom, Fish breaks down the schools of thought on the subject, which range from the idea that academic freedom is justified by the common good or by academic exceptionalism, to its potential for critique or indeed revolution. Fish himself belongs to what he calls the It s Just a Job school: while academics need the latitude call it freedom if you like necessary to perform their professional activities, they are not free in any special sense to do anything but their jobs. Academic freedom, Fish argues, should be justified only by the specific educational good that academics offer. Defending the university in all its glorious narrowness as a place of disinterested inquiry, Fish offers a bracing corrective to academic orthodoxy."

The buttons Laura cherishes the most belonged to her mother—a button from her prom dress, a white one off her wedding dress, and a single small button from the nightgown she was wearing on the day she died. When the string breaks, Laura’s new stepmother, Jane, is there to comfort Laura and search for a missing button, just as Laura’s mother would have done. But it’s not the same—Jane isn’t Mom. In Eve Bunting’s moving story, beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand, Laura discovers that a memory string is not just for remembering the past: it’s also for recording new memories.
