Synopsis

If you have questions about how to improve your students' writing skills, how to increase their test scores and how to provide rich and meaningful literature experiences at the same time--you need The Write Answer! Created by middle school teachers, this book contains student worksheets, resource lists, teacher pages, samples, individual and group activities focusing on specific aspects of writing: style, dialogue and plot, characterization, setting, point of view and leads and endings. Activities include character role playing, using comic strips to examine dialogue and plot, studying author styles and creating a class binder full of different types of leads. The Write Answer includes many practical activities that direct students to apply skills learned on the reproducible pages to what they're writing in class.
