Power Writing: From Paragraph to Essay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068852428)

How often do your students say "I don't know what to write" or "How long does it have to be?" Are you frustrated with the lack of written output from your students? And even if they write something, often it is incoherent and off-topic with many run-on sentences. It is painful, unproductive and frustrating.

The Power Writing process is here to help! You will learn the process in eight-easy steps so your students can write with consistency and confidence. From there you can teach them to use that structure to write a five-paragraph essay. The best part is that the eight steps are easy to replicate no matter what subject you teach and no matter if you're teaching kindergarten or eighth grade.

Power Writing: From Paragraph to Essay answers the questions:

• How do I teach students to think of ideas related to a topic?
• Why is writing a group effort?
• What role does Artificial Intelligence (AI) have in the writing process?
• How do students become independent writers?
• What is the most important step in the writing process?
• What do I do to help students with special education needs that don't produce written work?
• What are the simple, eight steps to teach students as young as four to write a paragraph?
• How do the samples in the book help me teach and evaluate my students' work?
