Writing Frameworks: Easy-to-Use Structures for Creating Confident, Successful Writers

by David Whitehead

This practical book presents simple, reproducible exercises to support students as they explore factual forms of writing. Writing Frameworks provides lessons that guide students to compose factual nonfiction texts — a writing genre that many students find difficult. The lessons focus on all the stages of writing with strategies for pre-writing, frameworks that provide initial support, and a model or sample to use as a guide. The strategies take beginning and more experienced writers through all stages of the writing process, from brainstorming to final copy. Simple tasks guide students towards writing that is organized, brief, to the point, and makes sense to the target audience.

Cover is incorrect. This one is correct:

Many easy to use templates/graphic organizers to help your students structure their writing. The templates very in complexity can can be easily used to differentiate instruction. The book is broken onto sections by genre: Recount, Procedure, Description, Report, Explanation, Argument, Discussion. The templates in the argument and discussions can be easily used for ACT Writing preparation. The illustrations are sophisticated enough that high school students won't object to using them. what a great resource.

Also it was originally published in Canada so it uses Canadian English spelling.
