Book Description
Rob and Amanda Montgomery explore opportunities for writing in real-world settings such as museums, public places, natural places, and even virtual places by providing a range of practical classroom activities in a variety of commonly taught genres. A Place to Write provides a comprehensive view of how place-based writing can be incorporated into the K-12 curriculum for a range of often transformative student writing experiences and classroom purposes, offering both a rationale for moving students out of the classroom to write in real-world spaces and a how-to guide to help teachers develop their own place-based writing activities. Each chapter explores opportunities for writing in a different real-world setting such as museums, schools, public places, natural places, and even virtual places by detailing a range of practical classroom activities in a variety of commonly taught genres.
