<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A leading authority in using informational text shows teachers how to develop project-based units on reading, writing, and researching major text types--informative/explanatory, persuasive, procedural/how-to, nonfiction narrative, and biographical.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Most teachers understand the importance of teaching children to read and write informational text. But how do they do it effectively? And in a way that is truly engaging? Nell K. Duke has the answer. With this book, she shows teachers how to build skills in reading and writing major informational text types--informative/explanatory, procedural/how-to, persuasive, nonfiction narrative, and biographical--through project-based instruction. Children read and write for real purposes and real audiences on topics that matter to them. In the process, they make a difference in the world. Drawing from the latest research, Duke explains how to design and carry out instruction, providing a blueprint for developing project-based units from start to finish--units that move children through a logical progression of phases: Project Launch, Reading and Research, Writing and Research, Revision and Editing, and Presentation and Celebration. Packed with clear, precise connections to Common Core State Standards, classroom-tested teaching ideas, and the work of practicing teachers and their students, this book will become an essential resource for years to come. For use with Grades K-5.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nell K.
