How closely do your students read their writing? What are the
implications for those who do and those who don’t? During her
work in classrooms, literacy coach Paula Bourque noticed that
students who read their own writing closely are engaged in their
work, write fluently, are able to produce lengthy drafts, and
incorporate teaching points from mini-lessons into the day’s
writing. In this comprehensive book, Paula shows you that no matter
what structures or lessons you use in your writing classroom, the
strategies in Close Writing will help you make these better by
creating student writers who are more aware of what effective
writing looks like, who care about what they write, and who take
ownership and responsibility for their growth as writers. Paula
argues that a key element in close writing is learning to look and
looking to learn by closely reading our own writing. Instead of
focusing on the mechanics of their writing, she encourages students
to read their words for understanding, clarity, and the effect they
will have on an audience. She urges them to recognize their habits
and their approaches to writing and to build upon them. Close
Writing is based on research and methods that are reliable and
valid best practices, but it will not prescribe lessons or
structures. It gives you a peek inside classrooms where teachers
just like you are working with budding authors just like yours.
Paula also provides considerations for ELL writers, as well as a
section of interviews with authors. She shares an extensive
reference/resource guide, and a companion website with students’
work samples, reproducibles and templates, and videos of classroom
writing lessons round out this must-have resource.
