What's essential in teaching young writers
Ann Marie Corgill invites you to experience the swirling energy, the sights, and sounds of a primary classroom. You'll see Ann Marie guiding her primary students into deep and meaningful explorations of a wide variety of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Watch as her classroom community progresses into eager and independent writers speaking with clarity, voice, and an undeniable understanding of the power and purposes of putting pen, pencil, crayon, and paper to work. If you are a grade-one through grade-three teacher struggling to get your students writing well, or if you want to push your writing workshop to new dimensions, then Of Primary Importance is for you. (1-3) 220 pp.
Forming the heart of the book are detailed units of study on poetry, nonfiction, and fiction writing that provide a clear demonstration of the writing workshop process at work throughout a school year. You'll also find examples of favorite texts for teaching various craft components, ideas for classroom organization and where to purchase materials, suggestions for publishing student work, lists of professional resources and, most importantly, inspiring examples of what children who are empowered to write can and will write.
