Thinking Through Genre

Thinking Through Genre

Supports English teachers who seek to engage their students in genre studies in the reading and writing workshop. The book profiles six different units of study: memoir, feature article, editorial, short story, fairy tale, and response to literature. Each study is set in an individual fifth-through tenth-grade classroom and is described from its theoretical foundations, through the planning for the specific needs of the students, to the teaching, and finally evaluation.

Thinking Through Theory

Thinking Through Theory tracks one teacher's encounter with theory for over a decade. It investigates theory arising out of a Russian and eastern European tradition of language study.
