Sometimes a student's best teacher is another student Just as the
pressure for students to perform well on state assessments
escalates ever higher, and the call to raise students' achievement
in narrative, opinion/argument, and informative/explanatory writing
grows louder, Gretchen Bernabei and Judi Reimer publish Fun-Size
Academic Writing for Serious Learning. If ever there were a book to
answer every need, this is it. You see, Gretchen and Judi have been
concerned about adolescents' writing for years, and they have had
amazing success using mentor texts by students to teach the ins and
outs of writing in any genre. So with this book, they "hand over
their file drawers" and provide you with 101 essays written by
students with one-page companion lessons that address text
structure, imagery, dialogue, rhetorical devices, grammatical
structures, textual blends--all the different tools that writers
use. Organized into three major sections that align with the Common
Core, STAAR, and other major state assessments, Fun- Size Academic
Writing delivers succinct, powerhouse instruction on topics such
as: How to choose a structure for argument, informational, or
narrative writing How to read a piece and extract thesis statement
and main points How to layer a wide range of details to support
points How to use rhetorical devices and grammatical constructions
for effect How to write from the point of view of a fictional
character The essays-also available in reproducible form on the
companion website--demonstrate something striking, something
imitable, something concrete. They give students a bank of choices
to call upon as they write. The lessons are short, practical, and
full of variety. Collectively, these essays and lessons have the
potential to move the needle on American students' writing
achievement once and for all. They show what has been done by
students-and they reveal to you how your own students can do it,
too.
