If you want to be  a writer, you begin by carefully observing the work of accomplished  writers. Recognizing the importance that modeling plays in the learning  process, high school English teacher Kelly Gallagher shares how he gets  his students to stand next to and pay close attention to model writers,  and how doing so elevates his students' writing abilities. \u003ci\u003eWrite Like This\u003c\/i\u003e  is built around a central premise: if students are to grow as writers,  they need to read good writing, they need to study good writing, and,  most important, they need to emulate good writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWrite Like This\u003c\/i\u003e,  Kelly emphasizes real-world writing purposes, the kind of writing he  wants his students to be doing twenty years from now. Each chapter  focuses on a specific discourse: express and reflect, inform and  explain, evaluate and judge, inquire and explore, analyze and interpret,  and take a stand\/propose a solution. In teaching these lessons, Kelly  provides mentor texts (professional samples as well as models he has  written in front of his students), student writing samples, and numerous  assignments and strategies proven to elevate student writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy helping teachers bring effective modeling practices into their classrooms, \u003ci\u003eWrite Like This \u003c\/i\u003eenables  students to become better adolescent writers. More important, the  practices found in this book will help our students develop the writing  skills they will need to become adult writers in the real world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stenhouse Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158540271856,"sku":"9781571109330","price":18.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571109330_p0.jpg?v=1763795577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571109330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
