Description |
Finally—a resource to help you teach writing specifically to intermediate students! Bestselling author Lori Jamison Rog presents 40 of her favorite tried-and-true research-based writing minilessons, covering everything from planning strategies to crafting specific genres.
Minilessons are linked to the six traits of effective writing and give you
- Specific learning goals
- Sample student writing to use as models
- Graphic organizers to support guided practice
- “Teacher talk” to help you present the lesson
This is not a prescriptive writing program; it's a menu of lessons from which you may choose, fully adaptable to meet your students’ needs and fit into your curriculum.
