Exploring Writing in the Content Area: Teaching and Supporting Learners in any subject area
Maria Carty
This innovative resource will show teachers of any subject new and innovative ways to help their classes become better and more capable writers.
Now more than ever before, right across the curriculum, pupils must know how to write with clarity and conviction. Whether they're studying science, geography or history, they need to learn to collect and analyse information, and communicate their own ideas with precision.
This book will show how to take pupils through all the steps involved in producing written documents—from generating ideas to researching, revising and editing—and provides them a wealth of practical tips for supporting and encouraging pupil work. The authors suggests specific techniques designed to help students:
- organising information into paragraphs
- using visual elements such as photographs, charts, and diagrams to enhance written text
- finding and documenting secondary source material
- creating powerful pictures using words
This practical guide also explains how teachers can provide pupils with the concrete, constructive feedback they need, and demonstrates how assessment can guide effective teaching practices.
