Writing nonfiction represents a big step for most students. Most
young writers are not intimidated by personal narrative, fiction,
or even poetry, but when they try to put together a "teaching
book," report, or persuasive essay, they often feel anxious and
frustrated. JoAnn Portalupi and Ralph Fletcher believe that young
nonfiction writers supply plenty of passion, keen interest, and
wonder. Teachers can provide concrete strategies to help students
scaffold their ideas as they write in his challenging genre. Like
the authors' best-selling Craft Lessons: Teaching Writing K-8, this
book is divided into sections for K-2, 3-4, and middle school
(grades 5-8) students. These divisions reflect various differences
between emerging, competent, and fluent writers. In each section
you'll find a generous collection of craft lessons directed at the
genre that's most appropriate for that particular age. In the K-2
section, for example, a number of craft lessons focus on the
all-about or concept book. In the 3-4 section there are several
lessons on biography. In the 5-8 section a series of lessons
addresses expository writing. Throughout the book each of the 80
lessons is presented on a single page in an easy-to-read
format.Every lesson features three teaching guidelines: Discussion
- A brief look at the reasons for teaching the particular element
of craft specifically in a nonfiction context. How to Teach It -
Concrete language showing exactly how a teacher might bring this
craft element to students in writing conferences or a small-group
setting. Resource Material - Specific book or text referred to in
the craft lesson including trade books, or a piece of student
writing in the Appendixes. This book will help students breathe
voice into lifeless "dump-truck" writing and improve their
nonfiction writing by making it clearer, more authoritative, and
more organized. Nonfiction Craft Lessons gives teachers a wealth of
practical strategies to help students grow into strong writers as
they explore and explain the world around them.Be sure to look at
the When Students Write videotapes too.
