No matter what grade you teach, what state your school is in,
and what level of diversity is present in your classroom, students
have the right to be shown real-world examples of the kinds of
writing they're asked to produce. For Katie Wood Ray, this
foundational idea is also the beginning of an important way of
approaching rigorous writing instruction.
In "Study Driven" Ray shows you that encouraging students to
read closely can improve the effectiveness of your writing
instruction. Detailing her own method for utilizing the popular
mentor-texts approach, Ray helps you immerse children in a close
study of published texts that supports their learning, leads them
to a better understanding of the traits of good writing, and
motivates them to become more accomplished writers.
Ray shows you how to set up your writing workshop to facilitate
close study. From grounded understandings to informed practice to
supportive resources, she demonstrates: how to find a rich variety
of texts that give students a clear vision of the writing you want
them to dohow to strategically select texts to support whole-class
learning as well as individual choicehow your teaching language
gives structure to curriculum development and student learning how
good planning turns curricular standards and objectives into
sensible units of studywhy depth can be a more practical and
effective curricular goal than breadth in writing instruction
"Study Driven" also gives you the ideas and resources for thirty
units of study, ranging from genres to punctuation and appropriate
across grade levels.
Get students into the habit of studying what they read to help
them plan their writing. Give them examples of real-world texts as
well as the structure, the space, the time, and the guidance to
change and grow as writers. Give yourself "Study Driven" and find
out how.
