No longer the forgotten "R", writing is receiving more and more
attention. "Constructed response" writing is increasingly used as a
more authentic form of test item to assess content understanding.
Mathematics and science standards require writing to demonstrate
and communicate understanding. Writing is seen as one of the
strongest predictors of success in college and will become a
requirement on SATs. This book offers teachers loads of examples of
how to engage children and improve their performance in all types
of content and creative writing, from self-selected topics, to
limited-selection topics, to focused-topic writing and constructed
response to test items. Using student samples, the authors offer
various suggestions for identifying how individual students can be
guided to improvement. The book will show teachers how to give
students skills to collect and structure ideas and information,
craft these into words, sentences and paragraphs, and present it
all in a way to match what they hope their readers will understand.
Special emphasis is placed on helping students write informational
text as a way to demonstrate their understanding and process and
work toward their own new understanding of information. Essential
for teachers in our current testing environment, this book offers
steps and tools to strengthen students' facility with the
much-assessed six traits of writing and help students achieve on
high stakes assessments. Real student writing samples and classroom
conversations make it easy for teachers to transfer tools,
strategies and practices to their own classrooms.
