Inhaltsangabe

State tests are assessing reading and writing together—Are you ready?

The heat is on—state tests now assess reading and writing together. And that’s a good thing, but we’ve got some catching up to do in developing students’ facility with written response. With Text Structures and Fables, Gretchen Bernabei and Jayne Hover share lessons and short texts to use right away. They harness the inviting format of fables to teach many ways to respond to texts in any genre. Students will learn easy structures for:

  • Answering comprehension questions
  • Connecting theme or moral to self or world
  • Answering questions about author’s craft
  • Showcasing thinking in non-traditional formats such as graphics

And much more!
