PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE IMPRINT

Books in the Principles in Practice imprint offer teachers concrete illustrations of effective classroom practices based in NCTE research briefs and policy statements.

Each book discusses the research on a specific topic, links the research to an NCTE brief or policy statement, and then demonstrates how those principles come alive in practice: by showcasing actual classroom practices that demonstrate the policies in action; by talking about research in practical, teacher-friendly language; and by offering teachers possibilities for rethinking their own practices in light of the ideas presented in the books.

Books within the imprint are grouped in strands, with each strand focused on a significant topic of interest.

Growing Writers Principles for High School Writers and Their Teachers Anne Elrod Whitney Anne Elrod Whitney explores how the principles defined in NCTE’s Professional Knowledge for the Teaching of Writing position statement can support high school writers and teachers of writing. Principles help us to better understand our teaching purposes, make decisions about teaching, vet ideas supplied by others, and grow as teachers of writing. The book, part of the Writing in Today’s Classrooms strand of the Principles in Practice imprint, includes snapshots from high school teachers working in a variety of settings illustrating how their own classroom practice has helped both them and their students to grow.

In the Pursuit of Justice

Honoring Students’ Rights to Read and Write in the Middle Grade Classroom

Students’ Rights to Read and Write in Elementary School

Jennifer Ochoa, editor

Mariana Souto-Manning, editor

Veteran middle school teacher Jennifer Ochoa wants to help all middle school educators encourage their students to build literate lives that extend beyond the classroom.

To that end, she brings together the experiences and activities of middle school teachers and teacher leaders, children’s author Ellen Oh, children’s literature scholar Kristin McIllhaga, and censorship expert Millie Davis to examine current middle school literacy practices that support students’ rights to read and write. Using NCTE position statements—The Students Right to Read and NCTE Beliefs about the Students’ Right to Write—as foundational guiding documents, Ochoa and her colleagues make the case that even in today’s standards-driven environment, authentic reading and writing practices can create literacy-rich middle school classrooms.

Promoting equitable, inclusive, and plural understandings of literacy, Mariana Souto-Manning and eight New York City public school teachers explore how elementary teachers can welcome into their classrooms the voices, values, language practices, stories, and experiences of their students who have been minoritized by dominant curricula, cultivating reading and writing experiences that showcase children’s varied skills and rich practices.

Readers are invited to enter classrooms where teachers have engaged with the principles detailed in two NCTE position statements—NCTE Beliefs about the Students’ Right to Write and The Students’ Right to Read—in the pursuit of justice.

Collectively, their experiences show that when teachers view the communities their students come from as assets to and in school, children not only thrive academically, but they also gain confidence in themselves as learners and develop a critical consciousness. Together, stepping into their power, they seek to right historical and contemporary wrongs as they commit to changing the world.

Adventurous Thinking Fostering Students’ Rights to Read and Write in Secondary ELA Classrooms Mollie V. Blackburn, editor Focusing on high school English language arts classes, Adventurous Thinking draws from the work of seven teachers from across the country to illustrate how advocating for students’ rights to read and write can be revolutionary work. Focal topics include immigration, linguistic diversity, religious diversity, the Black Lives Matter movement, interrogating privilege, LGBTQ+ people, and people with physical disabilities and mental illness. Following these teachers’ accounts is an interview with Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give and On the Come Up, and an essay by Millie Davis, former director of NCTE’s Intellectual Freedom Center. The closing essay reflects on provocative curriculum and pedagogy, criticality, community, and connections.

Restorative Justice in the English Language Arts Classroom Maisha T. Winn, Hannah Graham, and Rita Renjitham Alfred

“A transformative book. If this book is on your to-read list, move it to the top!”

—Jessica Variz, Redondo Union High School The authors—two teacher educators and a restorative justice practitioner—provide concrete and specific examples of how English teachers can think and plan using a restorative justice lens to address issues of student disconnection and alienation; adult and youth well-being in schools; and inequity and racial justice through writing, reading, speaking, and action. They examine the intersection of restorative justice and education with a focus on restorative justice processes that are used to promote inclusivity and ownership, and demonstrate how teachers can use their curricular powers with a restorative justice framework in mind to empower the literacy classroom as a space for addressing inequalities across domains.

PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE IMPRINT Writing Instruction in the Culturally Relevant Classroom Maisha T. Winn and Latrise P. Johnson Winn and Johnson support an approach to writing instruction that can help all students succeed, and especially those who have been underserved in US classrooms. Through portraits of four high school teachers, they show how to create an environment for effective learning and teaching in diverse classrooms, answering questions such as: ● How can I honor students’ backgrounds and experiences

to help them become better writers? ● How can I teach in a culturally responsive way if I don’t

share cultural identities with my students? ● How can I move beyond a “heroes and holidays”

approach to culturally relevant pedagogy? ● How can I draw on what I already know about good

writing instruction to make my classes more culturally relevant?

Writing in the Dialogical Classroom Students and Teachers Responding to the Texts of Their Lives Bob Fecho Dialogical writing (1) combines academic and personal writing; (2) allows writers to bring multiple voices to the work; (3) involves thought, reflection, and engagement across time and space; and (4) creates opportunities for substantive and ongoing meaning making as students explore who they are and how they relate to the larger culture.

Drawing on NCTE Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing, Bob Fecho provides a window into the classrooms of middle and high school teachers who are engaged in a dialogue with their practices. Hear these teachers explain the essentials of their teaching as they demonstrate how dialogical classrooms depend on context and are forever in a state of becoming.

This book illustrates the empowerment that can result from dialogical writing as it examines the complexity of implementing this approach in the classroom.

Writing Can Change Everything Middle Level Kids Writing Themselves into the World Shelbie Witte, editor Identifying writing as central to what makes us human, editor and teacher educator Shelbie Witte has gathered a diverse group of middle school teacher-writers who open widely the doors of their classrooms to share their approaches to mentoring, modeling, and facilitating middle level writers as they explore their places within our world.

Early adolescents might be physically and emotionally in flux, but they are also multidimensional, multitalented creatures of curiosity, always pushing the boundaries of discovery and possibility.

The seven educators whose classrooms are showcased in this book know that being a writer is being part of the world, and they lead their students toward the understanding that writing makes a difference, both in their own lives and in the broader world. Writing Can Change Everything invites all of us to consider how the principles outlined in NCTE’s Professional Knowledge for the Teaching of Writing position statement weave throughout the best practices on display as students write through creative self-expression, narrative, inquiry, and project-based learning.

Becoming Writers in the Elementary Classroom Visions and Decisions Katie Van Sluys This book illustrates how teachers of elementary-age writers bring their beliefs about teaching and learning to life— through the visions they hold for writers, writing, and the world, as well as through the decisions they make every day in their classrooms. Katie Van Sluys demonstrates how to (re)claim aspects of our professional practice to ensure that young people have the opportunity to become competent, constantly growing writers who use writing to think, communicate, and pose as well as solve problems.

Using NCTE Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing, Van Sluys invites us to articulate our own beliefs as we explore why and what we write, how we write and how we teach, how we assess progress, and how we advocate for the practices we believe in.

Adolescent Literacy and the Teaching of Reading Lessons for Teachers of Literature Deborah Appleman Deborah Appleman dismantles the traditional divide between secondary teachers of literature and teachers of reading and offers a variety of practical ways to teach reading within the context of literature classrooms.

Using real-world examples from diverse secondary classrooms, Appleman helps literature teachers find answers to the questions they have about teaching reading: ● How can I help students negotiate the complex texts that

they will encounter both in and out of the classroom? ● What are the best ways to engage whole classes in a

variety of texts, both literary and nonliterary? ● What does it mean to be a struggling reader and how

can I support these students? ● How can I inspire and motivate the male readers in my

classes?

Going Public with Assessment A Community Practice Approach Kathryn Mitchell Pierce and Rosario Ordoñez-Jasis Veteran educators Pierce and Ordoñez-Jasis share classroom vignettes, strategies, and resources for “going public” with literacy assessment through teacher collaboration with colleagues, families, and the community. Drawing from the IRA–NCTE Standards for the Assessment of Reading and Writing, Revised Edition, and their own extensive experience, the authors have compiled a set of collaborative assessment principles, as well as a model for teacher professional development around assessment, to guide teachers from assessment theory to practical implementation in the classroom.

Teachers have up-close and personal experiences with how assessments impact their students. Their critical expertise is strengthened by the experiences and expertise of others invested in the success of our students—colleagues, families, communities, and students themselves.

Reading Assessment Artful Teachers, Successful Students Diane Stephens, editor Through case studies of individual students and lively portraits of elementary classrooms, editor Diane Stephens and colleagues explore how artful preK–5 teachers come to know their students through assessment and use that knowledge to customize reading instruction. Throughout the book, the educators profiled— classroom teachers, reading specialists, and literacy coaches— work together to take personal and professional responsibility for knowing their students and ensuring that every child becomes a successful reader. The teachers profiled detail the assessment tools they use, how they make sense of the data they collect, and how they use that information to inform instruction.

Like the other books in the Literacy Assessment strand of NCTE’s Principles in Practice imprint, Reading Assessment is based on the IRA–NCTE Standards for the Assessment of Reading and Writing, Revised Edition, which outlines the elements of high-quality literacy assessment. These educators show us how putting those standards in action creates the conditions under which readers thrive.

Beyond Standardized Truth Improving Teaching and Learning through InquiryBased Reading Assessment Scott Filkins The Common Core State Standards call for students to read and comprehend increasingly complex texts as they move through middle and high school. But how to support students as they develop the necessary skills, habits, and stances to grow as readers? Scott Filkins addresses these issues as he unpacks his own history with assessment.

Filkins showcases his colleagues’ use of an inquiry framework, including the various tools and documentation methods that help them inquire into their students’ habits and thoughts as readers, use formative assessment to fuel the gradual release of responsibility framework, and use reading assessment as a means of professional reflection. Finally, he challenges us to broaden the conversation about assessment to a wider range of stakeholders and offers a vision of assessment as an expression of care for the students in our charge.

PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE IMPRINT Teaching Reading with YA Literature Complex Texts, Complex Lives Jennifer Buehler To meet the needs of all students as readers, we have to offer books they can—and want to— read. Buehler explores the three core elements of a young adult pedagogy with proven success in practice: (1) a classroom that cultivates a reading community; (2) a teacher who serves as book matchmaker and guide; and (3) tasks that foster complexity, agency, and autonomy in teen readers. With a supporting explication of NCTE’s policy research brief Reading Instruction for All Students and lively vignettes of teachers and students reading with passion and purpose, this book is designed to help teachers develop their own version of YA pedagogy and a vision for teaching YA lit in the middle and secondary classroom.

Real-World Literacies Disciplinary Teaching in the High School Classroom Heather Lattimer

“Real-World Literacies is a really amazing resource! Great connections, great resources, and great advice for teachers and schools!”

—Jeffrey Austin, Department Chair/ Writing Center Director, Skyline High School, Ann Arbor, MI Our highly technological and connected world needs people capable of creative, innovative, and imaginative thinking that crosses disciplines. Why are so many educators pressured to fall back on a standardized, test-driven, single-subject approach to instruction?

Heather Lattimer draws on Literacies of Disciplines: An NCTE Policy Research Brief and stories from high school classrooms to illustrate how we can learn to recognize the unique languages and literacy structures represented by various disciplines and then help our students both navigate within individual disciplines and travel among them.

Rethinking the “Adolescent” in Adolescent Literacy Sophia Tatiana Sarigianides, Robert Petrone, and Mark A. Lewis At the heart of this book is a call to English language arts teachers to examine the very assumptions of adolescence they may be operating from in order to reimagine new possibilities for engaging students with the English curriculum. Relying on a sociocultural view of adolescence established by scholars in critical youth studies, the book focuses on classrooms from diverse contexts to explain adolescence as a construct and how this perspective of youth can encourage educators to reenvision literacy instruction and learning. Working from and looking beyond Adolescent Literacy: An NCTE Policy Research Brief, the authors explore the “myth” of adolescence and the possibility of a curriculum that positions youth as experts and knowledgeable advocates fully engaged in their own learning.

Doing and Making Authentic Literacies Linda Denstaedt, Laura Jane Roop, and Stephen Best Too many students don’t see themselves as “doers” and “makers” of authentic work in any of the disciplines of high school, so they make no connection between high school coursework and their future lives and work. But what if we took advantage of our students’ tremendous potential by designing environments in which they can unleash, develop, and publicly share their talents?

Through rich classroom examples, explanations of theory and practice in teacher-friendly language, guiding questions to support discussion and classroom application, and annotated lists of resources, Lattimer reframes the conversation toward true disciplinary literacy.

This book features educators in construction trades, English, math, and multidisciplinary teams who have created empowering disciplinary classrooms and projects that allow students to gain new identities as makers and doers. Building on foundational work in authentic literacies, the authors center their examples in a continuum of disciplinary literacy learning, demonstrating how it can be used to look at and reconfigure lessons, units, courses, and programs.

Connected Reading

Digital Reading

Teaching Adolescent Readers in a Digital World Kristen Hawley Turner and Troy Hicks Having ready access to digital tools and texts doesn’t mean that middle and high school students are automatically thoughtful, adept readers. So how can we help adolescents become critical readers in a digital age?

Using NCTE’s policy research brief Reading Instruction for All Students as both guide and sounding board, experienced teacher-researchers Kristen Hawley Turner and Troy Hicks report on interviews and survey data from visits with hundreds of teens, which led to the development of their model of Connected Reading: “Digital tools, used mindfully, enable connections. Digital reading is connected reading.” Turner and Hicks offer practical tips by highlighting classroom practices that engage students in reading and thinking with both print and digital texts, thus encouraging reading instruction that reaches all students.

William L. Bass II and Franki Sibberson Many of our young students come to school with vast experience in the digital world but too often use digital tools in limited ways because they view technology as merely another form of entertainment. Educators William L. Bass II and Franki Sibberson believe we need to redefine reading to include digital reading and texts, learn how to support digital reading in the classroom, and embed digital tools throughout the elementary and middle school curriculum.

Bass, a technology coordinator, and Sibberson, a third-grade teacher, explore the experiences readers must have in order to navigate the digital texts they will encounter, as well as the kinds of lessons we must develop to enhance those experiences.

Drawing on the NCTE policy research brief Reading Instruction for All Students, they lead from experience—both theirs and that of other classroom teachers.

Adolescents and Digital Literacies Learning Alongside Our Students Sara Kajder This book isn’t about technology. It’s about the teaching practices that technology enables, addressing the ways in which teachers and students work together to navigate continuous change and what it means to read, write, view, listen, and communicate in the twenty-first century. Sara Kajder, a nationally recognized expert on technology and literacy, recognizes that students are reading and writing every day in their “real lives.” Drawing on ideas found in Adolescent Literacy: An NCTE Policy Research Brief, Kajder offers solutions for connecting these activities with the literacy practices required by classroom curricula. Through extensive interviews and classroom experiences, Kajder offers examples of both students and teachers who have successfully integrated technology to enrich literacy learning.

What’s Essential in Grades 3–8

Entering the Conversations Practicing Literacy in the Disciplines Patricia Lambert Stock, Trace Schillinger, and Andrew Stock The authors of Entering the Conversations invite us into their classrooms and professional development workshops to see how students at all levels of instruction can learn both the subject matter and the discipline-specific practices for reading and writing about that subject matter.

In this book, we see the engagement and enthusiasm of students caught up in their roles as knowledge makers. As emerging field-based specialists, these students address real-world issues such as the reintroduction of wolves to US ecosystems and how to shape attitudes toward social revolution, demonstrating the value of having students read and write information-rich texts in multiple genres and media.

PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE IMPRINT Writing across Culture and Language Inclusive Strategies for Working with ELL Writers in the ELA Classroom Christina Ortmeier-Hooper Ortmeier-Hooper challenges deficit models of ELL and multilingual writers and offers techniques to help teachers identify their students’ strengths and develop inclusive research-based writing practices that are helpful to all students. Her approach, aligned with specific writing instruction recommendations outlined in the NCTE Position Paper on the Role of English Teachers in Educating English Language Learners (ELLs), connects theory to classroom application, with a focus on writing instruction, response, and assessment for ELL and multilingual students. Through rich examples of these writers and their writing practices, along with “best practices” input from classroom teachers, this book provides accessible explanations of second language writing theory and pedagogy in teacher-friendly language, concrete suggestions for the classroom, guiding questions to support discussion, and an annotated list of resources.

Beyond “Teaching to the Test” Rethinking Accountability and Assessment for English Language Learners Betsy Gilliland and Shannon Pella Speaking directly to teachers who work closely with English language learners, Gilliland and Pella examine essential questions in this age of accountability: What kind of accountability measures truly demonstrate multilingual students’ learning?

How do these measures reflect the planning and teaching that teachers do to help their students grow?

The authors take readers into the classrooms of middle and high school teachers to illustrate accountability practices that exemplify the principles outlined in the NCTE Position Paper on the Role of English Teachers in Educating English Language Learners (ELLs). The authors explain teaching for accountability, formative and summative assessment, and preparation for high-stakes testing, as well as provide suggestions for teaching, guiding questions for discussion, and resource recommendations.

Community Literacies en Confianza Learning from Bilingual After-School Programs Steven Alvarez Most teachers of English language learners are not adequately prepared to meet the challenges of working with this growing demographic of K–12 students. Alvarez argues that teachers’ greatest resources are the students themselves, with both a facility in their home language and ties to their home communities. He highlights the importance of building mutual trust, or confianza, between students, schools, and communities, both inside and outside of the classroom.

After-school programs focused on English learners offer a way for parents, teachers, and volunteers to collectively navigate school systems and the English language, share stories, and develop facility in reading and writing across languages. Alvarez offers ideas for approaching, engaging, and partnering with students’ communities to design culturally sustaining pedagogies that productively use the literacy abilities students bring to schools.

Understanding Language Supporting ELL Students in Responsive ELA Classrooms Melinda J. McBee Orzulak Engaging with critical questions such as “What counts as language?” and “How can I know when a student is struggling with language?,” Melinda J. McBee Orzulak explores how mainstream ELA teachers might begin to understand language in new ways to benefit both English language learner and non-ELL students learning in the same classroom. Offering supportive teaching resources and ways to notice and understand the strengths of ELL students, she outlines strategies for respectful and rigorous instruction for all students as we consider our own cultural and linguistic expectations. She also addresses responses to common curricular challenges such as (1) structuring positive environments for students as both learners and adolescents; (2) providing a language focus in our teaching; and (3) assessing the range of literacies our ELL students possess.

CULTURE & IDENTITY Toward Culturally Sustaining Teaching Early Childhood Educators Honor Children with Practices for Equity and Change Kindel Turner Nash, Crystal Polite Glover, and Bilal Polson, editors Demonstrating equitable strategies that move toward culturally sustaining teaching such as translanguaging, explorations of children’s literature, alternative modes of literacy assessment, photography and arts integration, student-driven poetry units, and more, this book shares the stories of four teacher-teacher dyads who worked together across university-school contexts to study, generate, and evaluate culturally relevant literacy practices in early childhood classrooms.

Highlighting the voices and roles of children, families, community members, and teachers of Color, this book suggests new ways for teachers to build and sustain relationships that are relevant and offers solutions for challenges that arise. The narratives in this collection model how to create positive and mutually beneficial dynamics among teachers, children, and their families and communities.

Transforming Literacy Education for LongTerm English Learners Recognizing Brilliance in the Undervalued Maneka Deanna Brooks Grounded in research on bilingualism and adolescent literacy, this book provides a much-needed insight into the dayto-day needs of students identified as long-term English language learners (LTELs). LTELs are adolescents primarily or solely educated in the US and yet remain identified as “learning English” in secondary school.

Challenging the deficit perspective often applied to their experiences of language learning, Brooks counters incorrect characterizations of LTELs and sheds light on students’ strengths to argue that effective literacy education requires looking beyond policy classifications that are often used to guide educational decisions.

By combining research, theory, and practice, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of literacy pedagogy to facilitate teacher learning and includes practical takeaways and implications for classroom practice and professional development.

Engaging Grammar

More Grammar to Get Things Done

Practical Advice for Real Classrooms, Second Edition

Daily Lessons for Teaching Grammar in Context Darren Crovitz and Michelle D. Devereaux

Amy Benjamin

Complementing Crovitz and Devereaux’s successful Grammar to Get Things Done, this book demystifies grammar in context and offers day-by-day guides for teaching ten grammar concepts, giving teachers a model and vocabulary for discussing grammar in real ways with their students. Through applied practice in real-world contexts, the authors explain how to develop students’ mastery of grammar and answer difficult questions about usage, demonstrating how grammar acts as a tool for specific purposes in students’ lives. Accessibly written and organized, the book provides ten adaptable activity guides for each concept, illustrating instruction from a use-based perspective. Middle and high school preservice and inservice English teachers will gain confidence in their own grammar knowledge and learn how to teach grammar in ways that are uniquely accessible and purposeful for students. Routledge and NCTE

Does grammar instruction have to elicit moans and groans from students and teachers alike? Only when it’s taught the old-fashioned way: as a series of rules to follow and errors to “fix” that have little or no connection to practical application or real-world writing. Teacher, researcher, and consultant Amy Benjamin challenges the idea of “skill and drill” grammar in the second edition of this lively, engaging, and immensely practical guide. Her enlightened view of grammar is grounded in linguistics and teaches us how to make informed decisions about teaching grammar—how to move beyond fixing surface errors to teaching how grammar can be used as the building blocks of sentences to create meaning. By using sentence patterns, mapping, visuals, and manipulatives, Benjamin presents an approach to grammar instruction that is suitable for a variety of student populations.

Although she doesn’t advocate for teaching to the test, Benjamin acknowledges the pressures students face when taking high-stakes tests such as the SAT and ACT. Included is a chapter on how to improve students’ editing skills to help prepare them for the short-answer portion of these tests.

Grammar to Get Things Done A Practical Guide for Teachers Anchored in Real-World Usage Darren Crovitz and Michelle D. Devereaux Grammar to Get Things Done offers a fresh lens on grammar and grammar instruction, designed for middle and secondary preservice and inservice English teachers.

It shows how form, function, and use can help teachers move away from decontextualized grammar instruction (such as worksheets and exercises emphasizing rulefollowing and memorizing conventional definitions) and begin considering grammar in applied contexts of everyday use.

Modules (organized by units) succinctly explain common grammatical concepts. These modules help English teachers gain confidence in their own understanding while positioning grammar instruction as an opportunity to discuss, analyze, and produce language for real purposes in the world. An important feature of the text is attention to both the history of and current attitudes about grammar through a sociocultural lens, with ideas for teachers to bring discussions of language-as-power into their own classrooms.

Reading and Teaching with Diverse Nonfiction Children’s Books Representations and Possibilities Thomas Crisp, Suzanne M. Knezek, and Roberta Price Gardner, editors This edited volume brings together ongoing professional conversations about diverse children’s books and the role and function of nonfiction and informational texts in K–8 classrooms. At a time in which truth, science, and reality are under attack, this volume challenges the fields of children’s literature and education to evolve, expand, dissemble, and divest from the traditional and limited literary canon.

Grounded in children’s literature research and criticism, the contributors argue the importance of including high-quality diverse books that accurately and authentically represent the world in which we live. This collection explores the ways in which engaging with diverse nonfiction children’s literature provides opportunities to counter constricted curricula and reposition the possibilities of pedagogical policies and mandates through centering the histories, lives, and cultures of historically marginalized and underrepresented people.

Chapters written by nationally and internationally recognized experts feature overviews of relevant texts, criteria for selecting and evaluating nonfiction literature, points for consideration, and a description of our contemporary context, alongside arguments for why it is essential that educators include this literature in their classrooms, curricula, and libraries.

Nonfiction Writers Dig Deep 50 Award-Winning Children’s Book Authors Share the Secret of Engaging Writing Melissa Stewart, editor In Nonfiction Writers Dig Deep, some of today’s most celebrated writers for children share essays that describe a critical part of the informational writing process that is often left out of classroom instruction. To craft engaging nonfiction, professional writers choose topics that fascinate them and explore concepts and themes that reflect their passions, personalities, beliefs, and experiences in the world. By scrutinizing the information they collect to make their own personal meaning, they create distinctive books that delight as well as inform. In addition to essays from mentor authors, the book includes a wide range of tips, tools, teaching strategies, and activity ideas from editor Melissa Stewart to help students (1) choose a topic, (2) focus that topic by identifying a core idea, theme, or concept, and (3) analyze their research to find a personal connection. By adding a piece of themselves to their drafts, students will learn to craft rich, unique prose.

What Works in Writing Instruction Research and Practice, Second Edition Deborah Dean

The Reader Response Notebook Teaching toward Agency, Autonomy, and Accountability

“What works?”

As teachers, it’s a question we often ask ourselves about teaching writing, and it often summarizes other, more specific questions we have: ● What contributes to an effective climate for writing? ● What practices and structures best support effective writing

instruction? ● What classroom content helps writers develop? ● What tasks are most beneficial for writers learning to write? ● What choices should I make as a teacher to best help my students?

Using teacher-friendly language and classroom examples, Deborah Dean helps answer these questions; she looks closely at instructional practices supported by a broad range of research and weaves them together into accessible recommendations that can inspire teachers to find what works for their own classrooms and students.

Initially based on the Carnegie Institute’s influential Writing Next report, this second edition of What Works in Writing Instruction looks at more types of research that have been conducted in the decade since the publication of that first research report. The new research rounds out its list of recommended practices and is designed to help teachers apply the findings to their unique classroom environments. We all must find the right mix of practices and tasks for our own students, and this book offers the best of what is currently known about effective writing instruction to help teachers help students develop as writers.

Ted Kesler The reader response notebook (RRN) is a tried-and-true tool in elementary and middle school classrooms. However, teachers and students often express frustration about this tool. Students’ responses sometimes feel like they’re just going through the motions, with little evidence of deep comprehension. This book breathes new life into RRNs by infusing this work with three key practices: (1) enabling responses to be design work, using a variety of writing tools; (2) expanding what counts as texts, including popular culture texts that are important in students’ lives outside of school; and (3) making the RRN an integral part of a community of practice. Kesler shows how we can teach students toward agency, autonomy, and accountability in their RRN work. Filled with examples of student work and explicit teaching in classrooms, the book shows how students’ creative responses lead to deep comprehension of diverse texts and ultimately develop their literate identities.

A Place to Write Getting Your Students out of the Classroom and into the World Rob Montgomery and Amanda Montgomery A Place to Write is both a rationale for moving students out of the classroom to write in real-world spaces and a how-to guide to help teachers develop their own placebased writing activities. Each chapter explores opportunities for writing in a different real-world setting such as museums, public places, and natural places by providing a range of practical classroom activities in a variety of commonly taught genres. Each activity is accompanied by considerations for teachers who may want to forge interdisciplinary connections and/or add authentic audiences to their students’ work. Rob and Amanda Montgomery also suggest adaptations and scaffolding for students with special needs and English language learners. A Place to Write provides a comprehensive view of how place-based writing can be incorporated for a range of classroom purposes. While this includes environmental advocacy, the book also encompasses issues of equity and social justice, school safety, and culture and identity, as well as including accessible ideas for teaching common genres such as personal narrative, argumentation, and authentic forms of inquiry.

English Language Learners in Literacy Workshops Marsha Riddle Buly Many mainstream classroom teachers haven’t had the opportunity to develop strategies to effectively teach the growing number of language learners in our schools. And language specialists aren’t always familiar with the instructional and management frameworks that work well for mainstream teachers.

Marsha Riddle Buly, a mainstream classroom teacher who became a reading specialist and then a specialist in bilingual/ELL education, shows how reading, writing, and language workshops can be used to help language learners in mainstream K–8 classrooms.

Riddle Buly outlines literacy workshop formats and offers clear explanations of how workshops align with the research on effective instruction of language learners, including the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP).

The Writing Workshop Working through the Hard Parts (And They’re All Hard Parts) Katie Wood Ray, with Lester L. Laminack Katie Wood Ray offers a practical, comprehensive, and illuminating guide to support both new and experienced teachers.

While every aspect of writing workshop is geared to support children learning to write, this kind of teaching is often challenging because what writers really do is engage in a complex, multilayered, slippery process to produce texts. The book confronts the challenge of this teaching head-on. Woven between the chapters on teaching are the voices of published writers, followed by short commentaries from Lester L. Laminack. These voices remind us how writers do what they do, thus lending authenticity to what Katie Wood Ray shows us in the classroom and thoughtfully helping us frame our instruction to match the complex process of writing.

Writing about Literature, 2nd ed.

Wondrous Words Writers and Writing in the Elementary Classroom

Revised and Updated Larry R. Johannessen, Elizabeth A. Kahn, and Carolyn Calhoun Walter Drawing on years of real classroom experience, the authors address the challenge many teachers face: how can we use writing assignments to deepen students’ understanding of literature, while at the same time improve their writing, critical thinking, and analytical skills?

This book provides an overview of the key components of theory and research—including assessment, literary interpretation, composition, sequencing, and activity design—and then offers practical activities to help students learn how to interpret literature, write compelling arguments, and support those arguments using evidence from the text.

Theory and Research Into Practice (TRIP) series

Katie Wood Ray Wondrous Words is a “loud” book, filled with the voices of writers, young and old. Drawing on stories from classrooms, examples of student writing, and illustrations, Katie Wood Ray explains in practical terms the theoretical underpinnings of how elementary and middle school students learn to write from their reading. The author invites readers into her library and offers suggestions on using books by authors including Cynthia Rylant, Debra Frasier, Eve Bunting, and Gary Paulsen to help teach writing. Wondrous Words weaves practice and theory together to provide an important knowledge base for teachers.

Learning to Write for Readers Using Brain-Based Strategies John T. Crow Crow first uses nontechnical language and fun classroom demonstrations to explore how proficient readers process written material. He then applies this perspective to specific areas of writing instruction, including analyzing texts and audiences; experimenting with sentences, paragraphs, and essay writing; and helping Standardized English learners acquire academic English. This brain-based approach to writing instruction will help you build from the tremendous storehouse of knowledge students already possess about language to help them learn what they need to know about writing.

Genre Theory Teaching, Writing, and Being Deborah Dean Contemporary genre theory is probably not what you learned in college. Its dynamic focus on writing as a social activity in response to a particular situation makes it a powerful tool for teaching practical skills and preparing students to write beyond the classroom. Although genre is often viewed as simply a method for labeling different types of writing, Deborah Dean argues that exploring genre theory can help teachers energize their classroom practices. Genre Theory synthesizes theory and research about genres and provides applications that help teachers artfully address the challenges of teaching high school writing.

“A gem! The memoir writing chapter has fantastic lowstakes prompts and mentor text ideas. The whole book is an artful and compelling case for teaching voice.”

—Elizabeth Rich Woo

As writing instruction becomes more standardized and structured, student voices grow silent. Speak for Yourself: Writing with Voice places a new emphasis on voice in the teaching of writing. Armed with the philosophy and concrete teaching ideas offered in this book, teachers can find the courage to speak up in order to create writing classrooms where students take ownership of their work, enjoy what they’re writing, and produce writing that shows depth of thought and originality of expression. This book acknowledges the pressures English teachers face in today’s educational climate, but challenges teachers to rally their expertise and enthusiasm so that student writers develop voice and speak for themselves.

Sustainable WAC A Whole Systems Approach to Launching and Developing Writing Across the Curriculum Programs Michelle Cox, Jeffrey R. Galin, and Dan Melzer

The authors present the results of a four-year project to synthesize the research on writing development at different ages from multiple, cross-disciplinary perspectives, including psychological, linguistic, sociocultural, and curricular.

First collectively offering the joint statement “Toward an Understanding of Writing Development across the Lifespan,” the authors then focus individually on specific periods of writing development, including early childhood, adolescence, and working adulthood. They conclude with a summative understanding of trajectories of writing development and implications for further research, teaching, and policy.

A 2008 survey of Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) programs found that nearly half of those identified in a 1987 survey no longer existed twenty years later, pointing to a need for an approach to WAC administration that leads to programs that persist over time. In Sustainable WAC, three current or former WAC program directors introduce a theoretical framework for WAC program development that takes into account the diverse contexts of today’s institutions of higher education, aids WAC program directors in thinking strategically as they develop programs, and integrates a focus on program sustainability. Informed by theories that illuminate transformative change within systems and illustrated with vignettes by WAC directors across the country, this book lays out principles, strategies, and tactics to help WAC program directors launch, relaunch, or reinvigorate programs within the complicated systems of today’s colleges and universities.

Writing Together Ten Weeks Teaching and Studenting in an Online Writing Course Scott Warnock and Diana Gasiewski As more and more college writing instructors are asked to teach online courses, the need for practical, day-to-day advice about what to expect in these courses and how to conduct them has grown. This book narrates the experience of an asynchronous online writing course (OWC) through the dual perspective of the teacher, Scott, and a student, Diana Gasiewski. They each describe their strategies, activities, approaches, thoughts, and responses as they move week by week through the experience of teaching and taking an OWC. This narrative approach includes details about specific assignments and teaching strategies, and through the experience of the student author, OWC instructors will better understand how students perceive OWCs and navigate through them—and how students manage their lives in the context of distance education.

Making Hybrids Work

Mobile Technologies and the Writing Classroom Resources for Teachers Claire Lutkewitte, editor

An Institutional Framework for Blending Online and Face-to-Face Instruction in Higher Education Joanna N. Paull and Jason Allen Snart

If compositionists wish to be pedagogically relevant, they need to think carefully about how their students read and compose texts and where they do so. More and more young people are choosing to write a variety of texts in a variety of locations because technologies make it possible. This book provides practical resources and assignments for writing instructors who are interested in a pedagogy that makes use of mobile technologies. The contributors explore both writing for and about mobile technologies and writing with mobile technologies. The book offers (1) a starting point for instructors who haven’t yet used mobile technologies in the classroom, (2) fresh ideas to those who have and proof that they are not alone, and (3) a call of reassurance that we can do more with less.

Making Hybrids Work provides a resource for institutions of higher education to grow and sustain quality hybrid courses—those combining online and face-to-face learning—by outlining an institutional framework that focuses on defining and advertising hybrids; developing, supporting, and assessing hybrid programs; and training faculty. To examine the reality rather than the hype of a hybrid curriculum, the authors consider several existing hybrid courses in a variety of disciplines, as well as explore the possibilities and limitations of teaching with technology.

Although there is no one easy path to instituting a hybrid curriculum, the authors argue that the hybrid model might well offer a potential “best of both worlds” in its blending of online and face-to-face instruction, but only with a strong foundation of institutional planning and professional support in place.

WRITING Designing Writing Assignments

Lesson Plans for Teaching Writing

Traci Gardner

Chris Jennings Dixon, editor

Effective student writing begins with well-designed classroom assignments. In this book, veteran educator Traci Gardner offers practical ways to develop assignments that will allow students to express their creativity and grow as writers and thinkers while still addressing the many demands of resourcestretched classrooms.

Gardner uses her classroom experience to provide ideas on how to effectively define a writing task, explore the expectations for a composition activity, and assemble the supporting materials that students need to do their best work. She includes dozens of starting points that you can customize and further develop for your own students.

This collection of lesson plans, grouped around popular categories such as writing process, portfolios, and writing on demand, will help prepare high school and college students for college-level writing. Each lesson follows a standard format that includes purpose of the activity; necessary preparation; required props and materials; process and procedure for implementation; instructional pointers and/or possible pitfalls; and reflections from the teacher that provide “behind the scenes” insights.

COMPOSITION

Immigrant Scholars in Rhetoric, Composition, and Communication

Cross-Talk in Comp Theory A Reader, Third Edition

Memoirs of a First Generation

Victor Villanueva and Kristin L. Arola, editors

Letizia Guglielmo and Sergio C. Figueiredo, editors

For the third edition of Cross-Talk in Comp Theory, Victor Villanueva recruited the expertise of colleague Kristin L. Arola in order to flesh out the discussion on composition and technology. The quick movement of the paradigm—from the personal computer to local-area networks to the rise of social networking—suggests the need to recall the talk and the crosstalk concerning computers and their products for composition.

This collection of essays shares the experiences of firstgeneration immigrant scholars in rhetoric, composition, and communication and how those experiences shape individual academic identity and, in turn, the teaching of writing and rhetoric. In addition to exploring how literacy is always complex, situational, and influenced by multiple and diverse identities, individual essays narrate the ways in which teacher-scholars negotiate multiple identities and liminal spaces, while often navigating insider/outsider status as students, teachers, and professionals. Extending current and ongoing conversations within the field, contributors consider how these experiences shape their individual literacies and understanding of literacy; how their literacy experiences lie at the intersections of gender, race, class, and public policy; and how these experiences often provide the motivation to pursue an academic career in rhetoric, composition, and communication.

195 pp. | 2019 | College | ISBN 9780814117392 $27.96 member/$34.99 nonmember ebook: ISBN 9780814117408

The award-winning Villanueva and his coeditor Arola have dropped nine essays from the second edition, reoriented others into new sections, and added eight new essays, including six in the new technology section, “Virtual Talk: Composing beyond the Word.”

Amid these changes, the third edition maintains the historical perspective of previous editions while continuing to provide insights on the relatively new discipline of composition studies.

Landmark contributions by major figures such as Donald Murray, Janet Emig, Walter Ong, Sondra Perl, Mike Rose, and Patricia Bizzell remain. They are joined by the works of other trailblazing scholars such as Peter Elbow and Richard Ohmann.

This edition also incorporates texts by key names within comp’s conversations on technology, including Adam Banks, Cynthia Selfe, and Kathleen Blake Yancey. The result is a collection that continues to provide new and experienced teachers and scholars with indispensable insights into the challenges, controversies, and ever-shifting currents within our rich and ever-evolving field.

COMPOSITION Just Theory An Alternative History of the Western Tradition David B. Downing Just Theory offers an alternative history of critical theory in the context of the birth and transformation of the Western philosophical tradition. But rather than providing a summary survey, it situates the production of theoretical texts within the geopolitical economy of just two pivotal cultural turns: Cultural Turn 1 (roughly 450–350 BCE) looks at the Platonic revolution, during which a new philosophic, universalist, and literate discourse emerged from what had long been an oral culture; Cultural Turn 2 (roughly 1770–1870) investigates the Romantic revolution and its nineteenth-century aftermath up to the Paris Commune. While focusing on the quest for social justice, David B. Downing situates the two cultural turns within deep time: Cultural Turn 1 gave birth to the Western philosophical tradition during the Holocene; Cultural Turn 2 witnessed the beginnings of the shift to the Anthropocene when the Industrial Revolution and the fossil fuel age began to alter our complex biospheres and geospheres. As described in the epilogue, the aftereffects of Western metaphysics have dramatically shaped our twenty-first-century world, especially for teachers and scholars in English and the humanities.

Bootstraps

Strategies for Teaching First-Year Composition

From an American Academic of Color Victor Villanueva, Jr. Bootstraps is an unusual book: at one level it is autobiographical, detailing the life of an American of Puerto Rican extraction from his childhood in New York City to an academic post at a university. At another level, Villanueva ponders his experiences in light of the history of rhetoric, the English Only movement, current socioand psycholinguistic theory, and the writings of Gramsci and Freire, among others.

READING & LITERATURE Theater, Drama, and Reading

Available August 2021

NEW

Transforming the Rehearsal Process into a Reading Process Judith Freeman Garey In the same way that theater artists engage in a rehearsal process to transform printed words into a world of people, space, sound, and action for the stage, readers can learn a modified version of this process to make text visible and concrete, unlocking its meaning. Drawing on both the production aspects of theater and the generative learning elements of drama, Theater, Drama, and Reading shows readers how to transform text from print to interaction, establishing a simple framework for how to read as an actor who builds characters’ lives, a set designer who constructs context, and a director who generates action.

This significant and practical new resource for all language arts teachers details the components of these reading strategies, provides step-by-step examples from classroom practice, and clearly demonstrates how the strategies achieve the Common Core State Standards.

Rethinking Reading in College An Across-the-Curriculum Approach Arlene Fish Wilner

Deep Reading Teaching Reading in the Writing Classroom Patrick Sullivan, Howard Tinberg, and Sheridan Blau, editors

Synthesizing theory from literacy scholars with strategies derived from classroom inquiry projects, Rethinking Reading in College argues for more— and more systematic—attention to the role of reading comprehension in college as a necessary step in addressing the inequities in student achievement. Through a critique of the philosophy behind the Common Core State Standards, Wilner examines the needs of college-bound high school students and interrogates the nature of “remediation” in college, arguing that when supported by rhetorical-reading assignments, students in all first-year writing classes can and should explore complex and enduring texts. Addressing both composition and reading across the curriculum, Wilner demonstrates how faculty in all disciplines and at all curricular levels can improve student outcomes by first deliberately inhabiting the persona of novices, rethinking their assumptions about what students know and can do. She also illustrates the limitations of the literary vs. nonliterary text binary through a study of the demands posed by To Kill a Mockingbird, a novel commonly taught in both high school and college. An outline for a two-semester first-year general education course and examples of writing-to-read assignments from a range of disciplines are adaptable across subject areas and institutions.

Measurements of reading abilities show a decline nationwide among most cohorts of students, so the need for writing teachers to thoughtfully address the subject of reading, especially in grades 6–14, has become increasingly urgent. Contributors to this collection— high school teachers, college students who discuss the challenges they faced as readers and writers, and composition scholars—define the challenges to integrating reading into the writing classroom, develop a theory of reading as a specific type of inquiry and meaning-making activity, and offer practical approaches to teaching deep reading in writing courses that can be put immediately to use in the classroom.

The volume concludes with letters written directly to students about the importance of reading, not only in the classroom but also as a richly complex social, cognitive, and affective human activity.

Literacy Engagement through Peritextual Analysis Shelbie Witte, Don Latham, and Melissa Gross, editors Peritextual analysis teaches readers how to evaluate information and sources using elements that precede or follow the body of the text. A work’s preface, afterword, index, dust jacket, promotional blurbs, and bibliography are only some of the elements that can be used to help readers connect with and understand the main text. Speaking directly to librarians and educators working with K–16 students, this important book outlines the Peritextual Literacy Framework and explains its unique utility as a teaching and thinking tool; defines components such as production elements, promotional elements, navigational elements, intratextual elements, supplemental elements, and documentary elements, offering examples drawn from both print and nonprint texts; presents several case studies showing peritextual analysis in action; and examines how the functions of peritext and the Peritextual Literacy Framework exist within online news articles, film and media packaging, and other nonprint texts.

Teaching Phonics in Context David Hornsby and Lorraine Wilson Debunking the myth that whole language teachers do not teach phonics, David Hornsby and Lorraine Wilson use classroom vignettes to show just how phonics is taught and learned in literacy-rich classrooms.

The book is grounded in the belief that reading and writing of connected text takes priority over the traditional teaching of phonics; that teaching and learning of phonics is always contained within, and subordinate to, genuine literacy events; and that children spend more time reading and writing (in which they learn to apply their phonic knowledge) than they do in the actual study of sound–letter relationships.

CONTENT AREA LITERACY Making Curriculum Pop

Reading Challenging Texts

Developing Literacies in All Content Areas

Layering Literacies through the Arts

Pam Goble and Ryan R. Goble

James S. Chisholm and Kathryn F. Whitmore

From body art to baseball cards, comics to cathedrals, pie charts to power ballads . . . students need help navigating today’s mediarich world. And educators need help teaching today’s new media literacy. To be literate now means being able to read, write, listen, speak, view, and represent across all media—including both print and nonprint texts, such as film, TV, podcasts, websites, visual art, fashion, architecture, landscape, and music.

This book offers secondary teachers in all content areas a flexible, interdisciplinary approach to integrate these literacies into their curriculum. Students form cooperative learning groups to evaluate media texts from various perspectives (artist, producer, sociologist, sound mixer, economist, poet, set designer, and more) and show their thinking using unique graphic organizers aligned to the Common Core State Standards.

Bringing together arts-integrated approaches, literacy learning, and classroom-based research, this book explores ways upper elementary, middle, and high school teachers can engage their students physically, cognitively, and emotionally in deep reading of challenging texts.

With a focus on teaching about the Holocaust and Anne Frank’s diary—part of the US middle school literary canon—the authors present the concept of layering literacies as an essential means for conceptualizing how seeing the text, being the text, and feeling the text invite adolescents to learn about difficult and uncomfortable literature and subjects in relation to their contemporary lives.

Accessible strategies are illustrated and resources are recommended for teachers to draw on as they design artsbased instruction for their students’ learning with challenging texts. Routledge and NCTE 137 pp. | 2018 | Grades 5–12 | ISBN 9781138058644 $31.95 member/$39.95 nonmember

Teaching YA Lit through Differentiated Instruction Susan L. Groenke and Lisa Scherff Foreword by Alan Sitomer Authors Susan L. Groenke and Lisa Scherff offer suggestions for incorporating YA lit into the high school curriculum by focusing on a few key questions: ● Which works of YA literature work better for whole-class

instruction and which are more suitable for independent reading and/or small-group activities? ● What can teachers do with YA lit in whole-class

instruction? ● How can teachers use YA novels to address the needs of

diverse readers in mixed-ability classrooms?

Each chapter opens with an introduction to and description of a different popular genre or award category of YA lit— science fiction, realistic teen fiction, graphic novels, Pura Belpré Award winners, nonfiction texts, poetry, historical YA fiction—and then offers suggestions within that genre for whole-class instruction juxtaposed with a young adult novel more suited for independent reading or small-group activities.

A Symphony of Possibilities A Handbook for Arts Integration in Secondary English Language Arts Katherine J. Macro and Michelle Zoss, editors A Symphony of Possibilities explores arts-based pedagogies for secondary teachers of English language arts. Drama, music, poetry, public art, and visual art are explored in detail by experts in their fields sharing proven methods of instruction with secondary students and teachers. Each chapter looks at effective teaching methods that incorporate the arts into secondary English classrooms.

Through the arts we see teachers and researchers who explore and expand upon comprehension, memory, issues of identity, and culturally relevant pedagogies. The arts challenge students to approach course material in personal and interactive ways. This book provides a resource for teachers who are looking for creative approaches to their teaching that will allow them to move their students into innovative and thoughtful learning spaces.

SHAKESPEARE Bring on the Bard Active Drama Approaches for Shakespeare’s Diverse Student Readers Kevin Long and Mary T. Christel As Shakespeare remains a staple of English language arts curricula, evolving standards challenge teachers to put students—not a text—at the center of a reading experience in order to support diverse readers and learners. Active drama approaches position students to engage with a rich text through low-risk speaking and improvisation activities as a part of any ELA classroom. The Folio Technique builds on those activities and introduces students to the clues Shakespeare built into his text that allow actors to efficiently understand their characters’ text, context, and subtext. Teachers can use excerpts from the First Folio of 1623 along with a mass market paperback or digital edition of a play to get closer to Shakespeare’s intentions and to explore the challenges the Bard’s modern editors face. This text offers suggestions for using parallel text, graphic, and abridged editions of Shakespeare’s works as well as activities using “cue scripts” and a variety of viewing experiences.

Reading Shakespeare Film First Mary Ellen Dakin Foreword by Alan B. Teasley Mary Ellen Dakin asserts that we need to read Shakespeare in triplicate—as the stuff of transformative literature, theater, and film. She guides teachers and students with carefully researched and classroom-tested strategies for crossing over from Shakespeare’s early modern English to modern film and illustrated productions of his plays.

Through a wealth of classroom vignettes, lessons, and handouts, we see how the “old” language of Shakespeare is constantly renewed through the “new” language of film.

Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults Mary Ellen Dakin Although the works of William Shakespeare are universally taught in high schools, many students have a similar reaction when confronted with the difficult task of reading Shakespeare for the first time. In Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults, Mary Ellen Dakin seeks to help teachers better understand not just how to teach the Bard’s work, but also why. By celebrating the collaborative reading of Shakespeare’s plays, Dakin explores different methods for getting students engaged in—and excited about—the texts as they learn to construct meaning from Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century language and connect it to their twenty-first-century lives.

Filled with teacher-tested classroom activities, this book draws on often-taught plays, including Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Lightning Paths 75 Poetry Writing Exercises

Lindsay Illich and Melissa Alter Smith Teach Living Poets opens up the flourishing world of contemporary poetry to secondary teachers, giving advice on discovering new poets and reading contemporary poetry, as well as sharing sample lessons, writing prompts, and ways to become an engaged member of a professional learning community. This approach offers rich opportunities for students to improve critical reading and writing, opportunities for self-expression and social-emotional learning, and perhaps the most desirable outcome, the opportunity to fall in love with language and discover (or renew) their love of reading. The many poems included in Teach Living Poets are representative of the diverse poets writing today.

Kyle Vaughn Lightning Paths features poetry writing exercises that, while they teach and utilize technique, also focus on and inspire the intuitive and imaginative qualities of poetry. Each exercise features a philosophical introduction that explains the nature of what the exercise aims for, the detailed exercise instructions, and a student example. The exercises themselves are divided into three sections: (1) exercises that focus on different types of imagery and different methods to generate fresh imagery; (2) exercises born out of unusual prompts and ideas aimed at engaging a writer’s experiences beyond poetry in the real world; and (3) exercises related to form or perhaps a reconsideration of what form might be or how it might function. Also included are introductions or essays related to imagery, inspiration, “leaping” poetry, and constrained writing.

POETRY 360 Degrees of Text

Teaching Poetry in High School

Using Poetry to Teach Close Reading and Powerful Writing

Albert B. Somers

Eileen Murphy Buckley Youth culture is rich with poetry, from song lyrics that teens read, listen to, and write, to poetry they perform through slams and open mics. The rich, compact language of poetry both inside and outside the classroom plays a valuable role in bridging the divide between youth culture and academic culture.

Whether we call it “critical literacy” or just “making meaning,” being able to read and analyze with precision and judgment empowers all students, not just in their academic courses but in everyday situations that require thoughtful evaluation and response. Through Eileen Murphy Buckley’s 360-degree approach to teaching critical literacy, students investigate texts through a full spectrum of learning modalities, harnessing the excitement of performance, imitation, creative writing, and argument/debate activities to become more powerful thinkers, readers, and writers.

Wordplaygrounds Reading, Writing, and Performing Poetry in the English Classroom John S. O’Connor

“Wow, so good! I keep thinking ‘How has this book escaped my notice all these years!’”

—Brett Vogelsinger, English teacher, Holicong Middle School, Doylestown, PA

John S. O’Connor offers exciting approaches to teaching poetry in middle school and high school classrooms with more than 25 high-interest activities designed to sharpen students’ writing and self-understanding and heighten their awareness of the world around them. In the process, he demystifies poetry for teachers and students by using students’ own life experiences as the basis for all student writing.

To move toward Black linguistic liberation, Baker-Bell introduces a new way forward through Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy, a pedagogical approach that intentionally and unapologetically centers the linguistic, cultural, racial, intellectual, and self-confidence needs of Black students. This volume captures what Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy looks like in classrooms while simultaneously illustrating how theory, research, and practice can operate in tandem in pursuit of linguistic and racial justice.

Code-Switching

Code-Meshing as World English

Teaching Standard English in Urban Classrooms

Pedagogy, Policy, Performance

Rebecca S. Wheeler and Rachel Swords

Vershawn Ashanti Young and Aja Y. Martinez, editors

Foreword by John R. Rickford

The original essays in this collection offer various perspectives on why codemeshing—blending minoritized dialects and world Englishes with Standard English—is a better pedagogical alternative than code-switching in the teaching of reading, writing, listening, speaking, and visually representing to diverse learners. Contributors argue that code-meshing leads to lucid, often dynamic prose by people whose first language is something other than English, as well as by native English speakers who speak and write with “accents” and those whose home language or neighborhood dialects are deemed “nonstandard.”

Code-Switching focuses on building on the linguistic knowledge that children bring to school and advocates the use of “code-switching” to enable students to add another linguistic code—Standard English—to their linguistic toolbox. Rather than drill the idea of “Standard English” into students by labeling their home language as “wrong,” the authors offer strategies for teaching students to recognize the grammatical differences between home speech and school speech so that they are then able to choose the language style most appropriate to the time, place, audience, and communicative purpose.

Redd and Karen Schuster Webb Redd and Webb explain what African American English (AAE) is and the role it may play in students’ mastery of Standard Written English. Designed for writing teachers, this is a concise, coherent, and current source that summarizes the major schools of thought about AAE—without polemics or unnecessary jargon—so that readers can draw their own conclusions about AAE and its influence on teaching and learning. Citing leading scholars in the field, the authors explain how AAE differs from other varieties of English, how it developed, how it might influence students’ ability to write Standard English, and how AAE speakers can learn to write Standard English more effectively.

Teachers are encouraged to harness students’ interest in film in order to help them engage critically with a range of media, including visual and printed texts.

Letting Go

Degree of Change

How to Give Your Students Control over Their Learning in the English Classroom

The MA in English Studies Margaret M. Strain and Rebecca C. Potter, editors

Meg Donhauser, Cathy Stutzman, and Heather Hersey This book explores an inquiry approach in which students differentiate their own learning with the space to choose texts, develop questions, and practice skills that are unique to their individual needs. Rooted in the Inquiry Learning Plan (ILP), a flexible tool that allows students to engineer their own goals and create an authentic final assessment, this practical approach provides a clear, customizable experience for teachers looking to shift ownership of learning to the student, whether wholly or in part. The authors—two classroom teachers and a school librarian—discuss strategies to scaffold the inquiry process while addressing the common pitfalls students encounter. Student examples of activities, reflections, and final products provide concrete models of how to use the strategies separately and how they relate.

As the needs of those seeking an MA in English studies have evolved, so too have the degree’s mission and identity. Looking primarily at stand-alone master’s programs, this volume gathers perspectives from faculty, program directors, and students from across the country to examine the design, delivery, and value of a master’s degree in English, challenging the characterization that MA programs in English serve primarily as steppingstones to the PhD. Rather, contributors reveal how central the MA is to shaping the purpose and identity of contemporary English studies. This collection provides a substantive discussion that goes beyond questioning the state of English studies—it points to curricular, programmatic, and professional innovations that are transforming the field, calling for new dialogue in higher education about the pivotal role of the MA in English.

Bruce M. Penniman

Bruce McComiskey, editor

Bruce M. Penniman draws on his nearly four decades of classroom experiences to offer guidance and support for managing the myriad demands of teaching secondary English. From addressing the numerous subdisciplines within English to making individual accommodations, from dealing with being the primary locus of literacy instruction in the school to everyday organizational strategies, Penniman helps teachers find a way to impose order on what often seems like an overwhelming array of responsibilities.

Well-known scholars in the field explore the important qualities and functions of English studies’ constituent disciplines—Ellen Barton on linguistics and discourse analysis, Janice Lauer on rhetoric and composition, Katharine Haake on creative writing, Richard Taylor on literature and literary criticism, Amy Elias on critical theory and cultural studies, and Robert Yagelski on English education—and the productive differences and similarities among them that define English studies’ continuing importance. This popular course adoption text provides an invaluable overview of an increasingly fragmented field.

Rhetorics of Overcoming

Rewriting Narratives of Disability and Accessibility in Writing Studies

Translanguaging outside the Academy

Allison Harper Hitt Rhetorics of Overcoming addresses the in/accessibility of writing classroom and writing center practices for disabled and nondisabled student writers, exploring how rhetorics of overcoming—the idea that disabled students must overcome their disabilities in order to be successful—manifest in writing studies scholarship and practices. Allison Harper Hitt argues that rewriting rhetorics of overcoming as narratives of “coming over” is one way to overcome ableist pedagogical standards. Whereas rhetorics of overcoming rely on medical-model processes of diagnosis, disclosure, cure, and overcoming for individual students, coming over involves the valuing of disability and difference and challenging systemic issues of physical and pedagogical inaccessibility

Rhetoric, Preservation, and White Supremacy James Chase Sanchez Salt of the Earth is an autoethnography and cultural rhetorics case study that examines white supremacy in the author’s hometown of Grand Saline, Texas, a community long marred by its racist culture. James Chase Sanchez investigates the rhetoric of white supremacy by exploring three unique rhetorical processes—identity construction, storytelling, and silencing—as they relate to an umbrella act: the rhetoric of preservation. Overall, this text argues that (1) we need to better understand the productions of white supremacy as a complex rhetorical act, and (2) in order to create a more well-rounded view of cultural rhetorics as a subfield, we need more analyses of the way cultures of the oppressor survive and thrive.

Writing Accomplices with Student Immigrant Rights Organizers Glenn Hutchinson This book argues for a pedagogical shift in centering the public writing classroom more on students’ work as organizers and rhetoricians.

Instead of focusing only on community partnerships, the writing classroom can foreground the work of student organizers and how they can better inform the field’s teaching practices. Each chapter focuses on students’ rhetorical skills through petitions, op-eds, and campaigns to stop deportations. Writing Accomplices with Student Immigrant Rights Organizers emphasizes teachers’ responsibility to act in solidarity with immigrant students, and such work points to a new role for the writing teacher in changing anti-immigrant and white supremacist laws and policies.

Counterstory The Rhetoric and Writing of Critical Race Theory Aja Y. Martinez

Named one of the 20 Best New Rhetoric Books to Read in 2021 by BookAuthority Humanities scholar Aja Y. Martinez makes a compelling case for counterstory as methodology in rhetoric and writing studies through the well-established framework of critical race theory (CRT), reviewing first the counterstory work of Richard Delgado, Derrick Bell, and Patricia J. Williams, whom she terms counterstory exemplars. Arguing that counterstory provides opportunities for marginalized voices to contribute to conversations about dominant ideology, Martinez applies racial and feminist rhetorical criticism to the rich histories and theories established through counterstory genres, all the while demonstrating how CRT theories and methods can inform teaching, research, and writing/publishing of counterstory.

Beyond Progress in the Prison Classroom Options and Opportunities Anna Plemons Plemons suggests that a truly decolonial turn in composition cannot be achieved as long as economic logics and rhetorics of individual transformation continue to be the default currency for ascribing value in prison writing programs specifically and in out-of-school writing communities more generally. Indigenous scholarship provides the theoretical basis for the proposed intervention in the ways that it both pushes back against individualized, economic assessments of value and describes design principles for research and pedagogy that are respectful, reciprocal, and relational.

Writing Programs, Veterans Studies, and the Post-9/11 University A Field Guide D. Alexis Hart and Roger Thompson D. Alexis Hart and Roger Thompson offer rich academic inquiry into the idea of “the veteran” as well as into ways that veteran culture has been fostered or challenged in writing classrooms, in writing centers, and in college communities more generally. Presenting a more nuanced approach to understanding “the veteran” leads not only to more useful research, but also to more wide-ranging and significant scholarship and community engagement. Such an approach recognizes veterans as assets to the college campus, encourages institutions to customize their veterans programs and courses, and leads to more thoughtful engagement with veterans in the writing classroom.

CCCC STUDIES IN WRITING & RHETORIC SERIES Rhetorics Elsewhere and Otherwise

Black Perspectives in Writing Program Administration

Contested Modernities, Decolonial Visions

From the Margins to the Center

Romeo García and Damián Baca, editors This collection explores decolonial shifts in composition and rhetoric informed by strategies for potentially decolonizing language and literacy practices, writing and rhetorical instruction, and research practices and methods. Rhetorics elsewhere and otherwise emerge across a spectrum, from geo- and body politics of knowledge and understanding to local histories emerging from colonial peripheries.

Staci M. Perryman-Clark and Collin Lamont Craig, editors “Essential reading for all writing program administrators. Get your copy ASAP!” —Paula Patch, VP, Council of Writing Program Administrators and Senior Lecturer in English, Elon University, Elon, NC

This collection makes a space for WPAs of color to cultivate antiracist responses within an Afrocentric framework and to enact socially responsible approaches to program building.

This framework also positions WPAs of color to build relationships with allies and create contexts for students and faculty to imagine rhetorics that speak truth to oppressive and divisive ideologies within and beyond the academy, but especially within writing programs.
