Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is a joyful art form, but how do you teach students to joyfully read, analyze, and write poems? In Text Structures from Poetry, Grades 4-12, award-winning educator Gretchen Bernabei teams up with noted poet Laura Van Prooyen to light the path. Centered around 50 classroom-proven lesson and poem pairs, the mentor texts represent a broad range of voices in contemporary poetry and the canon. These unique and engaging lessons show educators how to "pop the hood" on a poem to discover what makes it work, using text structures to unlock the engine of a poem. This method enables educators to engage students in reading and re-reading a poem closely, to identify how the parts of the poem relate to each other to create movement, and to leverage what they have learned to write their own evocative poems. Each of the 50 lessons includes a mentor poem that serves as an excellent model for young writers, a diagram that illustrates the text structure of the poem, and several inspiring examples of student poems written to emulate the mentor poem. Easy-to-use instructional resources enhance instructor and student understanding and include: Teaching notes for unlocking the text structure of a poem and the engine that makes it work. Tips for exploring rhyme scheme, meter, and fixed forms. Instructional sequences that vary the ways students can read and write poems and other prose forms. Ideas for revising and publishing student poems. A "Meet the Contemporary Authors" section that includes fascinating messages from the contemporary poets. Teach your students to learn about poetry using the magic of poems themselves and lead the way to a rewarding love of poetry for teachers and students alike.

Book excerpt: "The state test is changing in Texas. For the last 20 years, Texas students in grades 4, 7, 9 and 10 have been asked to write an essay in response to a stand-alone prompt like "What's your favorite season?" or "What's the importance of friendship?" But in the spring of 2023, this will all change. Now, the Texas legislature will be assessing reading and writing together. Students will no longer have stand-alone essays on the high-stakes tests, but will be asked to answer questions, both in short format and as more extended length. But the kicker is that now students will be tested on this writing at every grade from grade 3 to 10. This means that teachers of grades formerly tested only for reading will now have writing components at every grade level, sending Texas teachers and administrators into panic mode, as teachers of grades 3, 5, 6, and 8 have never received training for writing instruction. Text Structures and Fables: Writing About What We Read, is designed to meet this pressing need. Part I, Building Strong Readers and Writers and Part II, Assessing Strong Readers and Writers will assist not only ELA teachers, but also those teachers formerly known as "reading teachers." Additionally, the Texas Education Agency intends to eventually add short-answer questions on all tests, including social studies and science. Part III, Using Non-traditional formats to "Show me you read it," is to help those teachers add a non-threatening writing component into their coursework"--

Book excerpt: The Writing & Rhetoric series method employs fluent reading, careful listening, models for imitation, and progressive steps. It assumes that students learn the best by reading excellent, whole-story examples of litereature and by growing their skills through imitatiion. Each excercise is intended to impart a skill (or tool) that can be employed in all kids of writing and speaking. The excercises are arranged from simple to more complex. What's more, the exercises are cumulative, meaning that later exercises incorporate the skills acquired preceding exercises. This series is a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric. Fable, the first book in the Writing & Rhetoric series, teaches students the practice of close reading and comprehension, summarizing a story aloud and in writing, and amplification of a story through description and dialogue. Students learn how to identify different kinds of stories; determine the beginning, middle, and end of stories; recognize point of view; and see analogous situations, among other essential tools. The Writing & Rhetoric series recovers a proven method of teaching writing, using fables to teach beginning writers the craft of writing well.
