Writing Essentials
This book is a great teacher resource when it comes to learning about writing essentials in the classroom. Regie Routman's book, Writing Essentials, makes learning to write an art form and takes you step by step through the process of teaching students how to be effective writers.
Regie's author style engages the reader and shows what excellent writing instruction looks like...
By encouraging students to write about what they want and to have a purpose for writing, teachers are able to create in their students a love of writing.
An added bonus with her most recent edition is a DVD that includes eight 3- to 4-minute video clips from primary and intermediate classes. These video clips, and their accompanying notes, take you inside the writing process for a more complete picture of what effective teaching of writing looks like.
Her optimal learning model forms the basis for her instruction and the many lesson samples included in this book make this a valuable resource, and not one to collect dust on the classroom shelf.
