Description
Praise for The Writing Teacher's Activity-a-Day "The most difficult area to teach in language arts is writing, and this text now makes it easier—it will become a teacher's best friend! The book is the perfect marriage to the writer's workshop lesson plan model, giving specific examples of writing for each necessary skill to be taught, and will surely enhance and support your mini-lessons. Implementing these activities will help both the student and teacher grow as writers. In 33 years of teaching language arts, I've never seen anything like it!" —Donna Kortvelesy, MS, NBCT, professional development specialist, Millville Public Schools, Millville, New Jersey "Anytime I see a book by Mary Ellen Ledbetter, I grab hold of several copies for use in my classrooms and trainings. Teachers beg for them! In The Writing Teacher's Activity-a-Day, she has taken the objectives that are so hard for students to grasp and for educators to teach and has put together an easy-to-read, easy-to-teach book of amazing activities for everyday use." —Janet Coleman, Ed. D., educational consultant and trainer, Fort Worth, Texas Writing Mini-Lessons That Won't Mean More Grading!
