The Writing Revolution
Author: Judith C. HochmanPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119364914
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Why you need a writing revolution in your classroom and how to lead it The Writing Revolution (TWR) provides a clear method of instruction that you can use no matter what subject or grade level you teach. The model, also known as The Hochman Method, has demonstrated, over and over, that it can turn weak writers into strong communicators by focusing on specific techniques that match their needs and by providing them with targeted feedback. Insurmountable as the challenges faced by many students may seem, The Writing Revolution can make a dramatic difference. And the method does more than improve writing skills. It also helps: Boost reading comprehension Improve organizational and study skills Enhance speaking abilities Develop analytical capabilities The Writing Revolution is as much a method of teaching content as it is a method of teaching writing. There's no separate writing block and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt the TWR strategies and activities to their current curriculum and weave them into their content instruction. But perhaps what's most revolutionary about the TWR method is that it takes the mystery out of learning to write well. It breaks the writing process down into manageable chunks and then has students practice the chunks they need, repeatedly, while also learning content.

Book Description
Applying principles from Linda and Carla's latest book, Interventions That Work: A Comprehensive Intervention Model for Reversing Reading Failure, their DVD series,Interventions that Work illustrates how teachers use data to implement research-based interventions—from kindergarten to eighth grade–that transform struggling students into successful readers and writers. The interventions are part of the authors' Comprehensive Intervention Model (CIM), a design for preventing reading failure in the early grades and reversing reading failure in the upper grades. The Guided Reading Plus (GRP) collection includes two disks of classroom video, lesson plans, and a wealth of resources along with a facilitator's guide for training and implementing the small group intervention. The GRP video collection is structured to provide training and support for teachers in learning about Guided Reading Plus as an intervention for struggling readers and as an intervention for their school's Response to Intervention (RTI) plan. Features: Provides a small-group intervention, based on the authors' Comprehension for Intervention Model (CIM) ,for students in grades three and beyond who are lagging behind their peers in reading. Consists of a series of 30-minute daily reading and writing lessons designed to promote students' knowledge of genre and text structures through in-depth units of study. Includes opportunities for teachers to collect systematic data for progress monitoring. Guides teachers in implementing explicit teaching and concrete examples to assist struggling readers to develop efficient strategies for problem solving in texts and to comprehend the message at deeper levels. Features two disks: Disk One contains supplemental materials such as the Facilitators' Guide, Power Point Presentation slides, guide sheet of lesson components, planners, Text Map/Writing Guide, and mentor texts for personal narrative. Disk Two contains CFG video lessons in reading and writing based on a unit of study for personal narrative texts. This disk is divided into four chapters with each chapter representing a unique phase with a total of 13 episodes under the phases. The episodes take place over a period of four weeks.
Understanding by Design

Pages : 383
Book Description
What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
