The Writing Teacher's Activity-a-Day: 180 Reproducible Prompts and Quick-Writes for the Secondary Classroom (JB-Ed: 5 Minute FUNdamentals) 1st Edition

Great activities for any writing environment. I am a retired educator and I used it in a Summer Camp writing curriculum program. Students and I enjoyed the lessons which were very engaging.

Mary Ledbetter is one of the best writing teachers; she is dynamic, creative and innovative! Her activities in this book are easy-to-use, and they have helped my students improve their writing immensely. The activities are mini-lessons, so they can be used a few times a week at the beginning of class. The students first learn a new writing method, then they see a paragraph which models the proper use of the method. Afterwards, they try employing the writing tactic into their own paragraph. I have noticed very creative, strong writing when I use this book.In addition, as the students learn more writing techniques, they can build upon each one. Therefore, when they write their paragraphs in their journals, they begin using the other techniques--combined with the new one! I recommend this book to a middle school or high school teacher. I teach 8th grade,so it works very well with this age group.

Full of easy and useful suggestions (activities) for the classroom. Glad I added this to my "tool box".

Great resource to help students take more control and responsibility over their learning.

I have not used this much yet i have so much new stuff and am working out what i am doing

I am a high school English teacher and this book is perfect for everyday bellringers! I put these up on the board they walk in and write for the first ten minutes of class everyday!

Great condition! Just like new. Will definitely come back to make future purchases.

Although this book says is is appropriate for grades 6-12, I think it would be best suited for middle school. I think my high school students would roll their eyes at me in exasperation if I suggested they do most of the activities in this book. However, I really do think it would be pretty good for middle school.
