A new emphasis in this edition of Spark the Brain, Ignite the Pen
is writing to learn in the content areas. This edition of the work
first published in 2006 includes a collection of classroom-tested
quick writes designed to assist students in thinking and writing
about significant content in the disciplines. Contributors to the
book teach a wide array of grade levels (K through college) and
subject areas e.g., English, social studies, math, science and
health), and the quick writes included in the book are ideal for
use in a variety of classroom subjects and settings. Given the
current research validating the impact of using writing tasks to
learn content, this volume should be useful to a wide range of
teachers, teacher educators, and professional development trainers
K-12.
Contributors to the book teach a wide array of grade levels (K

math, science and health), and the quick writes included in the
book are ideal for use in a variety of classroom subjects and
settings. We believe that the book will find an extremely receptive
audience among K-12 teachers, teacher educators preparing future
teachers, and teachers and trainers of trainers involved in
inservice programs and summer writing institutes. Many published
resources offer lists of writing topics for classroom use; however,
they lack the pedagogical approach that informs the quick write
concept. Although one published quick write resource offers
literary prompts for grades 5-12, we know of no other book that
provides such varied examples of this particular strategy,
particularly our inclusion of a wide variety of "stimuli" (versus
the common and sole use of literary texts), and their use for a
wide array of content areas (versus the usual and sole focus of
English/Language Arts).
