All teachers should have this book on their desks--not just English Language Arts teachers. As the authors point out, writing not only leads to better job prospects for our students and higher test scores--it can lead to a better, more fulfilling life. The authors provide strategies that are specifically meant to work across content areas and many that are useful for math, science, and social studies in specific.This book has been especially valuable to me as an ELA teacher because of the specific strategies the authors offer. For example, the authors do more than just discuss the theory of writing-to-learn--they provide clear, easy methods to put the theory into practice. They explain the protocol for strategies that I have used many times in my classes at this point, like write-arounds, written conversations, and double-entry journals. Write-arounds (an activity in which students have a conversation in writing rather than verbally) has really helped me build a more inclusive classroom that gives a voice even to those students who may not be comfortable sharing their ideas out loud. The authors also offer useful ideas for public writing projects--writing projects that ask students to write for an actual audience rather than just the teacher.Perhaps the most useful aspect of this book is the clear instructions the authors give for supporting students in the process of writing. I was never quite sure how to help students get ideas down prior to writing, but after reading this book, I feel like I have a toolbox at hand if I draw a blank (or if they draw a blank!). In particular, I use a strategy called 4-card stud to help students generate ideas. In this strategy, students begin by writing general ideas about a topic on the first notecard, gradually expanding and going into more depth about their ideas on the rest of the cards. It is a nice hands-on activity that has helped many of my struggling writers.Overall, it’s a very useful book with practical strategies that put theory into practice.
