Writing and Thinking
Grades K-6
Guide students through the writing process. Six units at each grade level include step-by-step instruction for successful writing: setting a purpose, planning, drafting, conferencing, revising, editing, publishing, assessing, postwriting, and making connections to literature. Instruction focuses on the elements of narrative, descriptive, expository, and persuasive writing.
The easy-to-use teacher manual contains lesson plans for each step of the writing process, actual student writing samples, conference guides, and scoring rubrics.
Reproducibles for student activities include extensive prewriting activities, student-generated task, audience, and purpose, first draft guides, response guides, revising and editing workshops, final draft guides, and postwriting activities.
Content-rich children's books are correlated to each unit as a model of the genre and as a springboard for additional writing and comprehension activities.
