{"product_id":"writing-their-future-selves-miriam-plotinsky-9781324052852","title":"Writing Their Future Selves: Instructional Strategies to Affirm Student Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I'm a bad writer\" is a disclaimer every secondary teacher has heard many times. Overcoming that negative self-image, Plotinsky argues, is key to helping students build a positive academic identity--and because of the vulnerability associated with sharing what we write, the benefits of interrupting this particular form of deficit thinking extend far beyond English class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her years of experience as an English teacher and literacy specialist, Miriam Plotinsky uses writing instruction as a powerful vehicle to examine how teachers can help students build a sense of themselves as legitimate, valuable contributors to the world around them. The chapters move fluidly through ways to build capacity such as celebrating student voice, separating grading from class participation, giving feedback that inspires trust, and avoiding the labeling of students. Along the way, teachers in other content areas contribute insights into how the identity-building strategies in the book can be applied to their own disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miriam Plotinsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324052856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324052852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
