Readers value the pithy, practical lessons each printed on one page and appreciate the instructional language geared to three grade-level groupings: K 2, 3 4, and 5 8.<br>In the decade since Craft Lessons' publication the world has changed in many ways, yet one thing has remained constant: teachers continue to feel starved for time. With new curriculum mandates, daily specials, pull-outs, and precious time devoted to test preparation, the situation has never been worse, and the need for a succinct resource like Craft Lessons has never been greater. <br>The features that made Craft Lessons so valuable have been augmented. This edition includes: <br>* Seventeen brand new craft lessons; many based on veteran teachers' observations about typical student writing. <br>* Revisions to other craft lessons: model texts that have gone out of print have been replaced with current titles, and the resource materials sections have been expanded. <br>* New thinking about teaching elements of craft and the reading-writing connection. <br> *Two new indexes: a handy subject index to make it easier to find specific craft lessons, and an index that shows how these craft lessons can be integrated into Ralph and JoAnn's curriculum resource on the qualities of writing Ideas, Design, Language, and Presentation. <br>The 95 lessons in this book provide a wealth of information for teaching leads, character, endings, stronger verbs, and much more. This new edition reestablishes Craft Lessons as the crucial desert island book for harried writing teachers everywhere. 289523 1 9 1998 Craft Lessons: Teaching Writing K-8 total:32|5:15|4:9|3:7|2:1|1:0| 32 134 52 6 5 1 false false Wed Nov 12 09:17:55 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 11:22:27 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 20:09:58 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 20:49:32 -0700 2009

A collection of mini-lessons to be used with writer's workshop. Although not a stand-alone book for my methods class, I will share it with the students as a possible resource. ]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Sep 09 17:36:49 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 17:37:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 06 18:17:54 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 18:20:20 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Nov 24 12:38:54 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 12:38:54 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 23 08:34:35 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 08:34:35 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Nov 19 08:55:11 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 08:55:11 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 01 06:27:46 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 06:27:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 15:31:23 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 15:31:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 14:31:15 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 14:31:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 16 03:12:54 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 03:12:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 15 13:35:11 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 13:35:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 30 14:07:52 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 18:02:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jul 28 20:10:35 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 20:10:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 08:21:11 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 26 07:51:38 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 10 21:27:22 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 21:27:22 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jun 22 18:08:17 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 18:08:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 23 02:17:44 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 02:18:00 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=298427
