In an increasingly demanding world of literacy, it has become
critical that students know how to write effectively. From the
requirements of standardized tests to those of the wired workplace,
the ability to write well, once a luxury, has become a necessity.
Many students are leaving school without the necessary writing
practice and skills needed to compete in a complex and fast-moving
Information Age. Unless we teach them how to run with it, they are
in danger of being run over by a stampede--a literacy stampede.
"In Teaching Adolescent Writers," Kelly Gallagher, author of
"Reading Reasons" and "Deeper Reading," shows how students can be
taught to write effectively. Kelly shares a number of
classroom-tested strategies that enable teachers to: understand the
importance of teaching writing;motivate young writers;see the
importance modeling plays in building young writers (modeling from
both the teacher and from real-world text);understand how providing
choice elevates adolescent writing (and how to allow for choice
within a rigorous curriculum);help students recognize the
importance of purpose and audience;assess essays in ways that drive
better writing performance.
Infused with humor and illuminating anecdotes, Kelly draws on
his classroom experiences and work as co-director of a regional
writing project to offer teachers both practical ways to
incorporate writing instruction into their day and compelling
reasons to do so.
