Craft Lessons 2nd Edition

Description

Since its publication in 1998 Craft Lessons has become a mainstay of writing teachers, both new and experienced. Readers value the pithy, practical lessons each printed on one page and appreciate the instructional language geared to three grade-level groupings: K 2, 3 4, and 5 8.
In the decade since Craft Lessons' publication the world has changed in many ways, yet one thing has remained constant: teachers continue to feel starved for time. With new curriculum mandates, daily specials, pull-outs, and precious time devoted to test preparation, the situation has never been worse, and the need for a succinct resource like Craft Lessons has never been greater.
The features that made Craft Lessons so valuable have been augmented. This edition includes:
* Seventeen brand new craft lessons; many based on veteran teachers' observations about typical student writing.
* Revisions to other craft lessons: model texts that have gone out of print have been replaced with current titles, and the resource materials sections have been expanded.
* New thinking about teaching elements of craft and the reading-writing connection.
*Two new indexes: a handy subject index to make it easier to find specific craft lessons, and an index that shows how these craft lessons can be integrated into Ralph and JoAnn's curriculum resource on the qualities of writing Ideas, Design, Language, and Presentation.
The 95 lessons in this book provide a wealth of information for teaching leads, character, endings, stronger verbs, and much more. This new edition reestablishes Craft Lessons as the crucial desert island book for harried writing teachers everywhere.

Summary: "Rehashing, Onerous and Just Average"

Most lessons have more shortcomings than positives--whether for middle school (grades 3-4) or upper elementary into junior high (5-8).

Let me delineate just a few problems:

1. Page 58: "Using Cut & Paste"
Using this method as a "motivating" technique for adding information into a
story is more onerous than writing in the margins, drawing insertion marks or
placing temporary footnote numbers. This approach is much to-do about
nothing. It's not original, not interesting, and certainly not time-saving.

2. Page 59: "'Cracking Open' General Words"
The authors don't seem to realize that students can't often "crack open"
general words--like "best," "nice," and "blast"--if they don't have the
vocabulary!

3. Page 60: "Use Stronger Verbs"
This is a good lesson on using active--not passive (is-was) words. But--as
throughout the book--one needs the text/s (another book) to present to the
students. This reliance on having another book (lots of them, in fact) in
order for a lesson in THIS book to be successful is a major shortcoming of
this guide for teaching writing.

4. Page 61: "Unpacking a 'Heavy Sentence'"
This is basically elaboration with a new title.

5. Page 94: "Deciding Where to Begin"
The "How to Teach It" section comes off more as a what to do rather than a how
to do it. There is just not enough handholding for the teacher.

6. Page 123: "Beware Formulaic Writing"
This lesson is very unclear on just HOW to teach non-formulaic writing. In
fact, this lesson is rather formulaic and dull.

The authors are frequently having the students to "reread your writing and look for...", but they don't tell the teacher how they motivate for or teach the original composition.

The word "discuss" (with the students) is often used, but we are never told how such a discussion might go.

For the above reasons and more not taken from my notes, I cannot highly recommend this guide to teaching the craft (and style) of writing. Even if you had all the backup books the authors recommend in order for you to be successful with THIS book, I would still only rate this guide a three.

Summary: "Very useful book for writing workshop"

I finally bought this book after hearing about it for years. Wish I had gotten it earlier. Fantastic mini lessons and useful mentor texts. Every 1st - 8th Language Arts teacher should have one on hand because you'll find yourself coming back to it again and again.

Summary: "Great Writer's Craft Book"

It is so hard finding a book on writer's craft ideas. This covers all elementary grade levels up to 8th grade, with ideas that can be adapted for every grade. I can't wait to use the lessons contained as a spring board to my writer's workshop!

Summary: "An impressive collection of strongly recommended and thoroughly 'user friendly' curriculum resource material."

Teaching children how to write is one of the fundamental tasks of all community schools be they public, private, or parochial. Now in an expanded and updated second edition, "Craft Lessons: Teaching Writing K-8" is the collaborative work of professional writer Ralph Fletcher and classroom teacher Joann Portalupi, who have worked with teachers and children from New York City to Hilo, Hawaii. A curriculum supplement and mainstay of writing teachers, this newly augmented edition features seventeen additional craft lessons (many based on veteran teachers' observations about typical student writing), revisions to previous published craft lessons (model texts that have gone out of print and replaced with current titles, as well as expanded resource materials sections); new thinking about teaching elements of craft and the reading-writing connection; and two new indexes. Comprising a total of ninety-five lessons specific to developing student writing skills, "Craft Lessons" continues to be an impressive collection of strongly recommended and thoroughly 'user friendly' curriculum resource material.

Summary: "If you're a writing teacher, this is the book you're looking for!"

Unlike many other writing books that abound with theories and fluff, this book cuts straight to the core and gives you minilessons that you can implement in your classroom TODAY! It focuses on adding craft to writing, so don't expect it to be a full writing curriculum or talk about mechanics, but the lessons it provides are top notch. It contains different sections for grades 1 and 2 3 and 4 5 and 6, revisiting similar skills on different levels. A must for any writing teacher!
