Description
Any teacher will love this collection of remarkable samples of student writing, along with strategies for using them to establish standards and generate more effective classroom work. This innovative book offers more than fifty mini-lessons that involve students in selecting among exemplars, then applying what they have learned to their own work. The book is organized around the six key traits of good writing:
- relevant and appropriate content
- organization that includes a logical beginning, middle, and end
- sentence variety that adds interest
- word choice that indicates an awareness of purpose and audience
- an original and honest voice
- an understanding of spelling, punctuation, and usage
This essential resource demonstrates how student samples can set standards, engage students, and improve student writing.
