Product Description
"Talk for Writing Across the Curriculum" takes a dynamic and creative look at how writing non-fiction can be taught across the curriculum. The book clearly demonstrates how creative reading and talking of a text influences writing. It provides imaginative and practical ideas, using teaching strategies straight from the classrooms where the initial teacher research was developed. The authors explore how to use word and sentence games, as well as drama and shared writing to help raise standards. Working with teachers in different Local Authorities across the country, Pie Corbett and Julia Strong have developed a clear approach to teaching non-fiction that has been shown to have a dramatic effect on standards. Because the approach is multi-sensory, it is enjoyed by both boys and girls. The emphasis on being able to 'talk the text' makes it also ideal for children who are learning English as a new language. This book acts as a perfect addition to the English National Primary Strategy's "Talk for Writing" materials that focused on poetry and story. Julia Strong and Pie Corbett have collaborated over the years to develop an approach that works from the foundation stage to year 7.The material in the book is enhanced by a CD-Rom, which includes annotated examples of illustrative texts from the book and sequencing games. Video footage of Pie Corbett's workshops with teachers shows the 'Talk for Writing' approach in action and demonstrates how you can use this technique in your classroom. ... Read more
