Winning Ways of Coaching Writing: A Practical Guide to Teaching Writing Grades 6-12
DescriptionThis writing text is written for teachers by teachers, with each chapter offering practical ideas, strategies, and activities to help teachers coach successful writing. Winning Ways of Coaching Writing is one of the first books to directly address the unique needs of middle and high school pre-service and in-service writing teachers. The text includes chapters on the teaching of ESL students (Ch. 6), writers with ADHD (Ch. 7), and non-traditional ninth graders (Ch. 8) — all topics that have come into the forefront of issues faced by writing teachers of grades 6-12. The authors of the chapters have collaborated to create reader-friendly, pragmatic chapters that include lesson plans and activities designed for immediate application.
