Writing is all about making meaning. The prospect of teaching
writing to a classroom full of students--some who speak English and
some who don't, can be overwhelming. When students learning English
are at different levels, the task is even more challenging. Juli
Kendall and Outey Khuon experimented with Ellin Keene's "Thinking
Strategies Used by Proficient Learners" and found that by
integrating writing and reading instruction their English language
learners become stronger writers.
"Writing Sense" outlines the classroom conditions necessary for
successful writing instruction with English language learners,
whether in writing workshop and/or small-group instruction. It
includes 68 classroom-tested lessons for grades K-8 that show kids
at all levels of language acquisition how to make connections, ask
questions, visualize (make mental images), infer, determine
importance, synthesize, monitor meaning and comprehension, and use
fix-up strategies.
Like the authors' earlier book, "Making Sense," the five main
sections are geared to the stages of language proficiency, and
lessons are divided into "younger" and "older" students, spanning
kindergarten through to grade eight. There are extensive lists of
suggested books for mentor texts as well as lists of mentor authors
to facilitate teachers' planning and instruction.
