Teaching The Elements Of Powerful Writing Using Great Fiction And Nonfiction

Aliveness. Clarity. Strength. These are characteristics of good writing, characteristics too often lacking in student work. Jane Sullivan and Midge Madden have developed a successful approach that helps students to see and appreciate these qualities in literary models-and then to revise their own writing with the ideas in mind. Includes 15 classroom-tested lessons in a format that lets teachers hear the authors' thinking, describing what they do and discussing why they do it. For use with Grades 3-5.Madden, Midge is the author of 'Teaching The Elements Of Powerful Writing Using Great Fiction And Nonfiction', published 2004 under ISBN 9780439517812 and ISBN 0439517818.
