The Most Wonderful Writing Lessons Ever

by Barbara Mariconda

Goodbye to random writing activities, hello to lessons that build beautifully on each other–and that give you all the details you need to present engaging lessons. Topics include writing entertaining beginning, building suspense, adding detail, writing a fully elaborated main event, developing story endings, and using dialogue effectively. Inventive activities! Use a snapshot of a dog to teach the importance of vivid verbs, read aloud Snoozer Sentences to wake kids up to the need for leads that grab. Written by a teacher who is also a prolific children's book author, this resource will become your favorite. We guarantee it!

I've been using the ideas and lessons found in this book for several years now with my third and fourth grade students. Whenever I'm asked by other teachers how I get my students to write as well as they do, I refer them to this book!

I like Lucy Calkins' workshop model better, but I found some great mini lessons in this resource.
