Description
Discover a powerful classroom structure that supports writers and promotes peer interaction — from brainstorming and sharing drafts to finding their unique voices and becoming successful writers. Writing circles empower students with a cooperative learning environment. They provide teachers with opportunities to observe, advise, learn, teach, and take part in discussion. This exciting new book offers everything you need to know about forming writing circles, including sample lessons, learning goals, revision techniques, and tips for encouraging the use of reference tools.
