Description
Most teachers understand the importance of teaching children to read and write informational text. But how do they do it effectively? And in a way that is truly engaging? Nell K. Duke has the answer. With this book she shows teachers how to build skills in reading and writing major informational text types—informative/explanatory persuasive: opinion procedural/how-to nonfiction narrative and biography—through project-based instruction. Children read and write for real purposes and real audiences on topics that matter to them. In the process they make a difference in the world.
Drawing from the latest research Duke explains how to design and carry out instruction providing a blueprint for developing project-based units from start to finish—units that move children through a logical progression of phases:
- Project Launch
- Reading and Research
- Writing and Research
- Revision and Editing
- Presentation and Celebration
Packed with clear precise connections to Common Core State Standards classroom-tested teaching ideas and the work of practicing teachers and their students this book will be an essential resource for years to come.
