Book excerpt: "These books will support teachers in their understanding of designing process-based instruction and give them both useful lesson plans and a process for designing instruction on their own that follows the design principles." -Peter Smagorinsky, Larry Johannessen, Elizabeth Kahn, and Thomas McCann The Dynamics of Writing Instruction series helps middle and high school teachers teach writing using a structured process approach. Teachers may spread these books throughout a multiyear English language arts program, use all six books to constitute a yearlong writing course, or repeat modified sequences from one book at sequential grade levels so students deal with that particular genre at increasing degrees of complexity. Each book in the series includes classroom-tested activities, detailed lesson sequences, and supporting handouts. The instruction is detailed enough to use as a daily plan but general enough that teachers can modify it to accommodate their own curriculum and the specific needs of their students. The instructional activities in each book are tailored to a specific kind of writing: argument, essays that define, comparison/contrast essays, personal narratives, research reports, and fictional narratives. This six book series will show teachers how to: introduce issues, dilemmas, and scenarios that capture students' interest and invoke the critical and creative thinking necessary to write powerfully and effectively design and orchestrate activities within an interactive and collaborative environment move students through increasingly challenging activities designed to help them become independent writers.

Book excerpt: Noting that while writing teachers acknowledge that responding to their students' writing is central to their teaching, they still express frustration about how to make their response effective. This book describes a two-part study conducted to discover how the nation's most successful writing teachers respond to their students' work. The first chapter provides background information, the rationale behind the study, and an elaboration of the research questions. The second chapter presents details of the experimental design, including procedures for selecting the 560 successful teachers and their 715 students who participated in the first part of the survey. This chapter also discusses ethnography--observing response practices--in the two ninth grade writing classes that participated in the second part of the study. The third chapter describes the response practices of the teachers, and their range and helpfulness, while the fourth chapter analyzes values about writing uncovered in the survey, the underpinnings and structuring of response. The fifth chapter provides a summary of the research, including characteristics of the successful teachers and their response practices, while the sixth chapter contemplates what can be learned from the study. The book concludes with 83 references and the following appendixes: (1) the National Writing Project surveys; (2) assignment sequences; (3) note-taking conventions and procedures for in-class data collection; (4) criteria for determining what was to be recorded on camera; (5) supplementary tables; (6) questions for character analysis; and (7) student writing samples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Teach the Research Report contains a step-by-step plan for teaching the research report. Teachers can begin teaching the steps for research report writing by modeling the research report with one-paragraph reports. The students can then practice the steps repeatedly until they have mastered this very complex skill. Now, with confidence, the students can practice writing five-paragraph research reports. Finally, transitioning to the three- to five-page research report is almost effortless as the students use the skills from the one- and five-paragraph reports to complete this task. This book contains three separate lesson plans; one for the one-paragraph report, one for the five-paragraph report; and one for the three- to five-page report. This means that elementary school teachers can spend all the time they need to teach the one-paragraph and five-paragraph research report. If their students are ready, they can attempt the longer report. Middle and high school teachers can quickly teach the first two lessons as a review and jump to the three- to five-page research report. This book is also perfect for home school parents as its methodical approach will help them make sense of a very difficult concept like research report writing. The format of this book leaves nothing to chance. The teacher is given everything needed to help students master research report writing. When finished, students will be able to organize their ideas from multiple resources, then format and write their reports within weeks and without help from parents or teachers.

Broussard approaches the misconceptions about the relationship between libraries as a source of information literacy, and offers suggestions on providing students support when working on research papers.
