The approach described is grounded in what global research has long been telling us are the most effective ways of teaching writing and contains a description of the authors' own research project into what exceptional teachers of writing do that makes the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors describe ways of building communities of committed and successful writers who write with purpose, power, and pleasure, and they underline the importance of the affective aspects of writing teaching, including promoting in apprentice writers a sense of self-efficacy, agency, self-regulation, volition, motivation, and writer-identity. They define and discuss 14 research-informed principles which constitute a \u003ci\u003eWriting for Pleasure \u003c\/i\u003epedagogy and show how they are applied by teachers in classroom practice. Case studies of outstanding teachers across the globe further illustrate what world-class writing teaching is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ground-breaking text is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the current status and nature of writing teaching in schools. The rich \u003ci\u003eWriting for Pleasure \u003c\/i\u003epedagogy presented here is a radical new conception of what it means to teach young writers effectively today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Young,Felicity Ferguson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367219506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367219505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Ross Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086506012927,"sku":"9780367219505","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b9dcbe1-c78b-430b-a7dc-110bfdb9ca3a.jpg?v=1769095057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-for-pleasure-ross-young-9780367219505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
