The Story of My Thinking Expository Writing Activities for 13 Teaching Situations

Two teachers, each with 30 + years of classroom experience, Gretchen Bernabei and Dottie Hall have written this professional development book, and it is filled with writing lessons that respond to specific teaching situations. For example, "If you want to begin with heartfelt moments from students' lives" the activity is called "Indelible Moments".  Turning to that section, the teacher will find Basic Steps, Tool, Setting the Scene, The Point, Teaching It, Debriefing, What to Do Net, Spin-offs, and Student Samples. Believe me, there is enough here to keep you and the kids busy for months! The book can be purchased from Heinimann, and I don't remember the cost, but it isn't much. he book is appropriate for 4th - 9th grades....and maybe more! Enjoy.
