Product Description:
Lessons and Strategies For Using the Power of Picture Books to Teach the Elements Of Great Writing in The Upper Grades
Kids' Writing Comes Alive!
Picture books are perfect, mini-models of effective writing! With their sterling language and succinct stories, picture books serve as excellent examples of how literary elements work in narrative writing. Dozens of lessons show how to use them to teach mood, voice, character traits, theme, and other devices. Kids are eager to apply what they've discovered to their own writing, and the results are amazing. Includes lessons from all stages of the writing process for both fiction and memoir writing plus lists of recommended books.




Rating: - Teaching Writing with Picture Books
This book is an excellent resource for teachers who wish to provide writing models for their students using quality literature. I feel it surpasses Raplh Fletcher's Craft books as it provides outlined, easy-to-use lessons for each book or aspect of writing. It is a welcome addition to my professional library.
