Holt Elements of Literature First Course Teacher's Edition (Elements of Literature, First Course Indiana Edition)

This book, though focused on one teacher in one school with one group of students, shows all teachers what can be accomplished. While the collective voice gives us community, it is the individual voice that gives us strength. Jim's voice gives us much strength, much strength indeed. -Kylene Beers, author of When Kids Can't Read-What Teachers Can Do How can we make the tools and habits of academic literacy available to every student? Jim Burke answered this question by creating ACCESS, a program for struggling students he began five years ago at Burlingame High School-a program where seventy percent of incoming ninth graders go on to college. In ACCESSing School, Burke examines academic success initiatives around the country, identifying their key components, then detailing how their practices apply to ACCESS so that you can adapt its principles to meet your school's unique needs. ACCESSing School offers a reading-intensive alternative to ineffective remedial courses. It synthesizes the findings of recent studies with both the insight Jim has gleaned from teaching ACCESS classes and the "Four Cs of Academic Success" he identified in School Smarts. ACCESSing School offers a model for all schools, complete with: 
<ul>
<li>specific, practical elements of Jim's ACCESS program</li> <li>the actual documents he and his district use to select students for ACCESS</li> <li>the research that supports its principles and practices</li> <li>the ways in which ACCESS addresses specific challenges such as gender, reading problems, and chronic academic failure</li> <li>inspiring stories of the program's many successes and an honest examination of its challenges.</li> </ul> How can you help every student learn to "do school?" By providing an opportunity for them to acquire the habits, motivation, and language they need in a curriculum that is structured and experiential, guided but flexible, personally meaningful but academically effective. How do you take the first step? By reading ACCESSing School, and discovering more about the ideas and practices that can help your students succeed both in school and after graduation.

"Just as rigor does not reside in the barbell but in the act of lifting it, rigor in reading is not an attribute of a text but rather of a reader's behavior-engaged, observant, responsive, questioning, analytical. The close reading strategies in Notice and Note will help you cultivate those critical reading habits that will make your students more attentive, thoughtful, independent readers." 
 -Kylene Beers and Robert E. Probst Also available: Notice &amp; Note/Reading Nonfiction Signpost Student Bookmarks Notice and Note Book Club Facebook Page In Notice and Note Kylene Beers and Bob Probst introduce 6 "signposts" that alert readers to significant moments in a work of literature and encourage students to read closely. Learning first to spot these signposts and then to question them, enables readers to explore the text, any text, finding evidence to support their interpretations. In short, these close reading strategies will help your students to notice and note. In this timely and practical guide Kylene and Bob: <ul>
<li>examine the new emphasis on text-dependent questions, rigor, text complexity, and what it means to be literate in the 21st century </li> <li>identify 6 signposts that help readers understand and respond to character development, conflict, point of view, and theme </li> <li>provide 6 text-dependent anchor questions that help readers take note and read more closely </li> <li>offer 6 Notice and Note model lessons, including text selections and teaching tools, that help you introduce each signpost to your students. </li> </ul>
Notice and Note will help create attentive readers who look closely at a text, interpret it responsibly, and reflect on what it means in their lives. It should help them become the responsive, rigorous, independent readers we not only want students to be but know our democracy demands. A new Notice and Note Literature Log offers students practice finding the signposts-with over-the-shoulder coaching from Kylene and Bob. Save with 5-packs.

Also available: Reading Nonfiction Student Bookmarks and Notice &amp; Note/Reading Nonfiction Signpost Student Bookmarks "When students recognize that nonfiction ought to challenge us, ought to slow us down and make us think, then they're more likely to become close readers." That means we need to help them question texts, authors, and, ultimately, their own thinking. No matter the content area, with Reading Nonfiction's classroom-tested suggestions, you'll lead kids toward skillful and responsible disciplinary literacy. Picking up where their smash hit Notice &amp; Note left off, Kylene Beers and Bob Probst write: "Fiction invites us into the writer's imagined world; nonfiction intrudes into ours and purports to tell us something about it." This crucial difference increases the responsibility of the nonfiction reader, so Kylene and Bob have developed interlocking scaffolds that every student can use to go beyond a superficial reading: <ul>
<li>3 essential questions that set students up for closer, more attentive readings of nonfiction texts</li> <li>5 Notice &amp; Note nonfiction signposts that cue kids to apply the skills and processes that sophisticated readers use instinctively</li> <li>7 proven strategies readers can use to clear up confusions when the text gets tough.</li> </ul>
We all know the value of helping students define nonfiction and understand its text structures. Reading Nonfiction goes the next crucial step-helping kids challenge the claims of nonfiction authors, be challenged by them, and skillfully and rigorously make up their mind about purported truths.
