Journeys: The Teaching of Writing in the Elementary Classrooms
	As any writing teacher will tell you, writing is about the journey, not the destination. This practical new book takes that idea to heart and presents a map for the trip based on the five elements of the 'Writer's Workshop': mini-lessons, reading, composing, sharing, and continuous assessment. Two-part chapters first address the type of writing being considered--poetry, story, expository, journal, personal, or persuasive--in light of the five workshop elements; then, provide vignettes from three elementary classrooms that show the workshop elements being effectively implemented. Along the way, student artifacts from grades 1, 3, and 5--and the insights of three teachers from these grades--bolster the book's narrative. For elementary school English teachers.

Teaching Children to Write
	All chapters in this comprehensive book are heavily supported by research from the earliest masters of the writing process to the most recent authorities in the field. That research is translated into practical workshop application. A strong reading-writing focus connects reading and literature with the unique components and competencies of learning how to write. Throughout the book, a wide range of children's writing samples provide practical and realistic exposure to the kind of writing children can be expected to produce in a real classroom. Also offered are practical suggestions for discovering children's learning styles and intelligence. Chapter topics include thematic units and lesson plans, writing assessment, grammar and writing, revising and publishing, turning ideas into words, expressive writing, literary writing, poetry, informative writing, argument and persuasion, and report writing. For elementary, middle school, and junior high level pre-service teachers who will be focusing on teaching their students to write. Teaching Children to Write
