Teaching Evidence-Based Writing: Nonfiction: Texts and Lessons for Spot-On Writing About Reading (Corwin Literacy)

One in a million. Yes, thatâ€™s how rare it is to have so many write-about-reading Â strategies so beautifully put to use. Each year Leslie Blauman guides her students to become highly skilled at supporting their thinking about texts, and inÂ Evidence-Based Writing: Nonfiction, she shares her win-win process.Â

Leslie combed the ELA standards and all her favorite books and built a lesson structure you can use in two ways: with an entire text or with just the excerpts sheâ€™s included in the book. Addressing Evidence, Relationships, Main Idea, Point of View, Visuals, Words and Structure, each section includes:
Â
LessonsÂ you can use as teacher demonstrations or for guided practice, with Best the Test tips on how to authentically teach the skills that show up on exams with the texts you teach.Â

Prompt PagesÂ serve as handy references, giving students the key questions to ask themselves as they read any text and consider how an authorâ€™s meaning and structure combine.

Excerpts-to-Write About PagesÂ feature carefully selected passages from current biographies, informational books, and articles on the topics you teach and questions that require students to discover a textâ€™s literal and deeper meanings.

Write-About-Reading TemplatesÂ scaffold students to think about a text efficiently by focusing on its critical craft elements or text structure demands and help them rehearse for more extensive responses.

Writing TasksÂ invite students to transform their notes into a more developed paragraph or essay with sufficiently challenging tasks geared for grades 6-8.

And best of all, your students gain a confidence in responding to complex texts and ideas that will serve them well in school, on tests, and in any situation when they are asked:Â What are you basing that on? Show me how you know.Â
