This resource is newly updated to include our popular Literacy Launch! The Literacy Launch is designed to be taught first and build on the strong writing/reading connection. Right from the start students will be introduced to informational, opinion and narrative texts. As they learn to annotate and analyze the various genres through the lens of an author they will learn the organizational structures, how to summarize text, and the salient features of each text type. This awareness level introduction to writing makes every interaction with text, in all content areas, a proactive reading and pre-writing experience.
This book was designed to provide everything you’ll need to teach informational/expository and response to text writing in Grade 6 and promotes a powerful reading/writing connection. With this guide, while we’ve kept all of the foundational skills necessary for all aspects of informational and informative writing, we’ve added many new lessons that apply these skills to response to text, literary analysis and research simulation tasks. In addition, we’ve broken down writing in response to text into a series of manageable skills that students can practice discretely, master, and apply effectively to authentic responsive writing assignments. Also, these new grade-level specific guides make planning and pacing instruction that much easier.
Applying informational writing skills to the kinds of responsive writing challenges on the latest national and state assessments makes this resource exceedingly valuable. Anyone interested in meeting 21st century writing standards will want to have this new resource.
Student pages are available in English only for print and projection, and accessible through a digital link provided in the guide.
