DAILY JOURNALS

By Carol Simpson. For teachers who know that a little daily writing practice can dramatically improve student’s writing abilities, but who aren’t sure how best to incorporate daily writing into their classes, this book explains—in jargon-free writing—exactly how such a classroom works. In addition to more than 40 ideas for what to write about, the book discusses teacher-student dynamics, a conference-based editing process, assessment, and how to turn student writings into finished products that generate pride and motivate students for future writing tasks. Grades K–3. Appendix. Bibliography. Illustrated. 8½" x 11". Good Year. 112 pages. ©1993.
