Examples of student work are included to illustrate effectively designed assignments and strategies for writing and revising. It includes methods for teaching vocabulary and academic language to help students improve word choice and use of language in their writing. Tools for assessing and grading student writing are also included, as well as suggestions and resources for effectively using writing rubrics and scoring guides. Narrative, expository/explanatory, argument, and research writing are discussed, with specific strategies, suggested materials, and ways to approach the modes. Teachers will also find suggestions for helping students learn to incorporate multimodal text into their writing and successfully write in digital contexts, as well as methods for helping students master timed and on-demand writing.
