The Writing Teacher’s Handbook
Jo Phenix
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, including 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.
