Writing and Growing: Transforming High School Students into Writers
Autor Timothy Horanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2022
This volume contains a total of twenty original writing projects that represent creative (and innovative) interpretations of Common Core Writing Standards. These projects focus on the worlds of contemporary secondary students, exploring such topics as technology, literature, goals for the future, and potential careers. Each assignment in this book is full and complete, and includes a reproducible outline that presents the assignment to students in a simplified graphical format.
As students progress through this program, they will encounter engaging writing projects that foster growth and anticipate the changes occurring in students' lives during this time of development and transition. It will also prepare students for the rigors of writing in college, career, and the unwritten future that awaits all of them.
Finally, Dr. Horan issues a call for every secondary school in the United States to create and implement courses singularly devoted to the craft of writing-and this book contains the curriculum for that course.

Recenzii
Timothy Horan has created a unique writing program that will engage students as it teaches them how to write and how to grow into their best selves. This book provides a refreshing update to the literature on secondary writing instruction, and will help prepare students for the rigors of writing in a university.
I especially love the chapters on Arthur Miller's play the Crucible. The writing projects there enable students to experience this play from three different angles: background history; textual analysis; and creative writing. As students write, they will learn to understand and appreciate the power of drama, and the beauty and challenges of dramatic writing. Great stuff.
In this book, Dr. Horan has created a revolutionary writing program that will engage high school students as it teaches them to write. Perhaps more important, Dr. Horan also calls for the creation of new writing courses in every high school - and for every student - in the nation. This book provides the curriculum for those courses-and it is long overdue.
