Craft is the cauldron in which the writing gets forged.Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi argue that too often we concentrate on the beginning and ending of the writing processconceiving and correctingwhile leaving students on their own to make a thousand critical decisions in their writing about crafting leads, voice, structure, supporting detail, setting, mood, and character.What elements of craft can we teach student writers, and at what age are they ready to learn them? This book answers both questions. Craft Lessons is the practical text for the overscheduled writing teacher who wants to give students fresh challenges for their writing but doesn't have time to pore over dozens of trade books to do so.There are three main sections in the book: one geared for teachers of primary students, one for teachers of grades 34, and one for teachers of middle school writers. This developmental structure allows teachers to go directly to those craft lessons most applicable and adaptable to their own students. Each of the 78 lessons is presented on a single page in an easytoread format. And every lesson features three teaching guidelines: DiscussionA brief look at the reasons for teaching the particular element of craft. How to Teach ItConcrete language showing exactly how a teacher might bring this craft element to students in individual writing conferences or a smallgroup setting. Resource MaterialA listing of the book or text referred to in the craft lesson plus additional texts you can use and references to a passage, a poem, or a piece of student writing in the Appendixes.Craft Lessons also explores the contextthe crucial classroom conditionsfor successfully bringing rich ideas to young writers. It will appeal to both experienced writing teachers seeking new horizons for their writers and teachers who are relatively new to teaching writing.Be sure to take a look at Nonfiction Craft Lessons: Teaching Information Writing K8 and the When Students Write videotapes.
