Publisher Description: This practical, thoughtful resource uses the Reading Power thinking strategies to show young writers how to engage their readers' thinking through their writing. Writing Power will guide teachers through a series of lessons focusing on each of the strategies: connect, question, visualize, infer, and transform. A wide range of effective writing techniques are outlined and reinforced throughout the book, with suggested anchor books for each lesson. The fundamentals of the writing process and the 6 Traits are integrated into this unique examination of how developing an awareness of the readers' thinking can influence and affect a student's ability to write. |
