Description

Helping students focus and communicate clearly in their writing is crucial. Writing expert Penny Kittle shows how to achieve this by studying "micro mentor texts" - excerpts from acclaimed books that demonstrate authors' craft decisions. This book provides dozens of short texts, mini-lessons, and practice opportunities for students, along with demonstration videos. The author's approach helps teachers understand the power of carefully chosen passages to engage readers. By examining these micro texts, educators can develop their own teaching strategies and support students in refining their writing skills. The result is more focused and effective writing. With its practical guidance and resources, this book is a valuable resource for teachers looking to improve student writing.
