"The Writing Teacher's Handbook" provides practical guidance for teachers to create classrooms where pupils thrive as writers. This comprehensive book presents a wealth of ideas for nurturing student writers. Teachers will learn how to: build on the experience, knowledge and ideas that students bring to the classroom; make writing a natural part of the daily activities of any classroom; support students through the writing process - from first draft through revisions to final copy; respond to children's writing in ways that encourage rather than frustrate them; and, help children acquire and practice the skills they need to become writers.Organised for the busy classroom teacher, this invaluable resource includes suggestions for managing the classroom, developing a writing schedule and motivating students.
Teachers will find the information they need to implement an effective writing programme, including a thorough exploration of different kinds of writing - from expressive, transactional, and poetic to literary patterns that are conducive to classroom instruction; suggestions for creating an authentic audience for students - writing partners, a writers' circle, parents, and the outside world; and techniques for developing classroom publishing projects that celebrate student work. An accessible and practical resource from this popular author, this Handbook will prove an essential tool for all primary-school teachers.
