Close Reading and Writing From Sources

Close Reading and Writing From Sources

Fisher and Frey present a model for teaching middle and high school students some of the most crucial skills, often neglected, in todayâ€™s schools: reading texts closely, taking good notes, analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources, then writing clearly and effectively.
Fisher and Frey have developed, implemented, and refined a process for teachers and students that results in evidence becoming a signature part of student work. When you use this process in your classroom, students will learn how to read closely to find out what a complex text says and means. Theyâ€™ll understand the purpose and use of evidence. They will hone their annotation and sourcing skills. And theyâ€™ll learn how to communicate and focus their ideas through meaningful discussion before writing.
Chapters in this book focus on
â€¢The Role of Evidence in Reading, Writing, and Discussion
â€¢Close Reading of Complex Texts
â€¢Preparing for Discussion and Writing: Annotation, Sourcing, and Avoiding Plagiarism
â€¢Using Evidence in Discussion
â€¢Writing From Sources
Videos linked throughout the text give you an opportunity to hear from teachers and students who have successfully implemented Fisher and Freyâ€™s ideas. And you can access additional instructional videos on the authorsâ€™ YouTube page. Youâ€™ll see how scaffolding these skills, which often are not learned until college or the workplace, can improve your studentsâ€™ reading and writing, both in terms of the habits they develop and in the writing they produce.
