Digital Composition. Penny Kittle and Kelly Gallagher extend their work in \u003cem\u003e180 Days: Two Teachers and the Quest to Engage and Empower Adolescents\u003c\/em\u003e by taking a deep dive into four essential studies. Their aim is to move beyond compliance and formula, and to develop students' agency, independence, and decision-making skills. These four practices, they argue, have the power to transform students' relationship with literacy--and truly prepare them for the more demanding work of college.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA central belief underlies each of the four studies--that composing involves choosing, picking among options. It is not following a pre-set pattern. But if students are to make these choices, they need to be aware of the moves and possibilities open to them. That's what this book does--it shows how teacher demonstrations, the skillful use of mentor texts, effective feedback (and many other tools) can make choices possible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy reimagining how we teach essay, poetry, book clubs, and digital composition, we can open the door to more engaged, connected, and challenging learning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penny Kittle, Kelly Gallagher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0325120064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780325120065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinemann Educational Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022 pg. 94","brand":"Penny Kittle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055550984447,"sku":"9780325120065","price":39.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bab7d7b-4cb4-4e25-ba21-131f4cc99a08.jpg?v=1685036436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/4-essential-studies-penny-kittle-9780325120065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
