Beschreibung

This is the Parent/Teacher Guide to accompany the Put Some Pants on That Kid Student Book. (Student Book is sold separately.) Writing well is an outgrowth of thinking well. Do your teenagers dread writing assignments? Do research papers make them want to scream? Does teaching essay-writing to your high schoolers feel like it's becoming a chore, for you and for them? Welcome to the Put Some Pants on That Kid writing curriculum! Put Some Pants on That Kid takes a big-picture, practical approach to writing, addressing the why behind the typical expectations for essays and research papers, and providing students the tools they need to understand those larger concepts, master them, and extrapolate them to future writing assignments. The Put Some Pants on That Kid curriculum is recommended for students at the 9th-12th grade levels, and covers:Essay writing (narrative and argumentative/persuasive) Research papers & research techniques Practical writing (business letters, business emails, resumes, cover letters, and writing in online spaces such as blogs or social media) An introduction to citation requirements and formatting for MLA and APA and more! Each topic is covered in-depth, addressing not only expectations and techniques for each style of writing, but also the reasons behind them. This curriculum teaches students how to think well about their ideas and the words which communicate them, and provides the tools for students to confidently fulfill assignment expectations while still allowing room for creativity and individual expression in their writing. The Put Some Pants on That Kid curriculum comes in two parts: The Student Book, which provides the core text for the curriculum, and The Parent/Teacher Guide, which provides a 32-week schedule, lesson plans, and techniques for using the curriculum with your high schoolers. The curriculum also includes a link that provides access to printable rubrics, handouts, checklists, and other resources for use with the curriculum. These resources are available online and may be printed and copied for you or your students' use as often as needed at no additional cost.

Autor

Crystal Crawford writes YA fantasy and clean romance (and a smattering of other genres) in Florida, where every natural body of water hides something that could eat you, and if they don't get you, the weather might. She lives with her husband, four kids, and her one-eyed cat, who have supported her dream of writing and drinking far too much coffee. Her imagination is her happy place! (But a deserted beach is nice, too.) When she isn't writing, she enjoys napping, watching shows with her family, or recording secret singing videos in her closet. Though she'd love to spend all day reading, most days you'll find her doing laundry and homeschooling the kids.
