Produktbeschreibung
Writing to Live specifically addresses ways to make writing curriculum relevant to students' lives while helping them develop the skills to become active, critically aware citizens. Wilson introduces a variety of contemporary, research-based strategies that bring writing instruction into the moment and engage students--strategies such as: - welcoming children to think and write about "hot topics" of their choice - encouraging them to bring their out-of-school literacies into the classroom - inviting them to explore a broad range of genres - asking students to write with purpose and answer challenging questions - promoting critical literacy techniques such as considering author purpose and values, identifying stereotypes, and responding to and rewriting texts. Wilson's strategies develop children's self-confidence as writers and readers while giving them an opportunity to voice concerns, express opinions, and seek answers to questions of social justice. And to help you understand how her ideas work in practice, she provides a detailed account of two upper-elementary classrooms where the curriculum is relevant to students' lives, and activities such as writing, reading, role playing and drawing cultivate active, critically aware citizens.
