5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on teaching writing!,
By
This review is from: Cohesive Writing: Why Concept Is Not Enough (Paperback)
The cover of this book doesn't really draw one to it, but don't let it deceive you. This book was written by an English teacher and not only does she share her philosophy on writing, but she shares numerous ideas on how to get kids to write and write well. One of the ideas she has to help write a persuasive essay, is to have students go through a newspaper and cut out five articles, editorials or whatever, that interest the student. Choose one of the articles as inspiration for your persuasive paper. When writing about literature, she has the students use a reflection chart (included in the book) to help them organize their thoughts for their paper. Another writing assignment involves using scented cotton balls (perfume, disinfectent, or air freshener) to help students write about a setting influenced by that smell. An inspiring and interesting read.
