Transforming Talk into Text―Argument Writing, Inquiry, and Discussion, Grades 6-12 (Language and Literacy Series)
Description:
Author Thomas McCann invites readers to rethink their approach to teaching writing by capitalizing on students’ instinctive desire to talk. Drawing on extensive classroom research, he shows teachers how to craft class discussions that build students’ skills of analysis, problem solving, and argumentation as a means of improving student writing. McCann demonstrates how authentic discussions immerse learners in practices that become important when they write. Chapters feature portraits of teachers at work, including transcripts that reveal patterns of talk across a set of lessons. Interviews with the teachers and samples of student writing afford readers a deeper understanding of process. Students also report on how classroom discussions supported their effort to produce persuasive, argument-driven essays.
Book Features:
- A focus on “the thinking behind the practice,” as opposed to a collection of lesson ideas.
- Connections to important elements from the Common Core State Standards, especially arguments writing.
- Examples of students at work with examples of the writing that emerges from their discussions.
- Portraits of skilled teachers as they promote inquiry and sequence and facilitate discussions.
- Appendices with problem-based scenarios, interview questions for students and teachers, samples of debatable cases in the news, and more.
