| Summary: | This book offers "teacher-friendly" lessons to plan flexible, interesting writer's workshop programs for students. The book gives short, self-contained lessons to boost writing skills and raise interest levels, whether they are used as a regular part of curriculum or plugged in as time allows. The book's 73 mini-lessons give the help needed to set up a writer's workshop in the classroom, including workshop evaluation forms, topic ideas, and writing-skill improvement lessons. The book also presents suggestions for incorporating writer's workshops into the yearly curriculum, along with a list of additional resources. The book's step-by-step guidance can turn students into enthusiastic writers and make teaching--and learning--creative writing a welcome part of the school day. According to the book, students will learn how to (1) show it, not tell it; (2) use lead-ins; (3) write dialogue; (4) be more descriptive; and (5) have fun with their writing. (CR) |
