Teaching genre is more than giving young writers structure; it's giving them the chance to learn the language associated with each genre before they tackle the task of writing. Liz Simon helps you introduce genre study into your curriculum effortlessly.
Just some of the subject matter includes:
planning and composing letters
generating character and plot ideas for fiction
listing key words to write original reports
using the Inquiry process to guide research
creating lead-in paragraphs for articles and exposition
proofreading guides for key genres.
There are writing-genre frameworks for early, transitional and extending writers, plus for each genre Liz presents a learning-outcomes profile for you to evaluate and document student progress. Write as an Expert also includes photographs and samples of student writing that show firsthand how Liz's genre-study lessons work in practice.
