Since its publication in 1998 "Craft Lessons" has become a mainstay
of writing teachers, both new and experienced. Readers value the
pithy, practical lessons--each printed on one page--and appreciate
the instructional language geared to three grade-level groupings:
K-2, 3-4, and 5-8.
In the decade since "Craft Lessons"' publication the world has
changed in many ways, yet one thing has remained constant: teachers
continue to feel starved for time. With new curriculum mandates,
daily specials, "pull-outs," and precious time devoted to test
preparation, the situation has never been worse, and the need for a
succinct resource like "Craft Lessons" has never been greater.
The features that made "Craft Lessons" so valuable have been
augmented. This edition includes: Seventeen brand new craft
lessons; many based on veteran teachers' observations about typical
student writing. Revisions to other craft lessons: model texts that
have gone out of print have been replaced with current titles, and
the resource materials sections have been expanded.New thinking
about teaching elements of craft and the reading-writing
connection.Two new indexes: a handy subject index to make it easier
to find specific craft lessons, and an index that shows how these
craft lessons can be integrated into Ralph and JoAnn's curriculum
resource on the "qualities of writing"--Ideas, Design, Language,
and Presentation.
The 95 lessons in this book provide a wealth of information for
teaching leads, character, endings, stronger verbs, and much more.
This new edition reestablishes "Craft Lessons" as the crucial
"desert island book" for harried writing teachers everywhere.
