This is a book I need to read! I find the idea of frames instead of writing process intriguing. Unfortunately, I couldn’t download the podcast so will have to make time to play it online…I tried last week and fell asleep, but it was late at night after a long day! (smile)

Looking forward to it!

  • On this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers we were excited to have a conversation with Liz Stephens and Kerry Ballast about their new book, Using Technology to Improve Adolescent Writing: Digital Make-Overs for Writing Lessons.
  • 
  • Stephens and Ballast guide teachers in how to successfully implement technology for writing across the curriculum and create engaging lesson plans. They outline four frames of writing–inside writing, responsive writing, purposeful writing, and social action writing–and present student-centered and inquiry-based reading/writing lessons to connect real-world writing to content area standards. The result is a state-of the-art resource for helping teachers teach every student to write inside and outside of the classroom.
