Author Thomas McCann invites readers to rethink their approach to
teaching writing by capitalizing on students' instinctive desire to
talk. Drawing on extensive classroom research, he shows teachers
how to craft class discussions that build students' skills of
analysis, problem-solving, and argumentation as a means of
improving student writing. McCann demonstrates how authentic
discussions immerse learners in practices that become important
when they write. Chapters feature portraits of teachers at work,
including transcripts that reveal patterns of talk across a set of
lessons. Interviews with the teachers and samples of student
writing afford readers a deeper understanding of process. Students
also report on how classroom discussions supported their effort to
produce persuasive, argument-driven essays.
