E-Book: Excerpts from the Teaching Writing: Structure & Style Seminar Workbook
Containing the handouts and resources that correspond with the Teaching Writing Power Pack DVDs, this e-book

E-Book: Mini-Book Sets for Units 4 & 6
This set contains 38 books. By printing them back-to-back, the pages can be folded to create a mini-book
to use as a source for Unit 4 or 6 writing. Roughly half of them are at a 3-6th grade reading level with the
other half suitable for 6th grade up (the sample includes one book from each level). Each book contains
factual information about various animals such as hummingbirds, carp, sharks and otters. Because there
are three books on each animal, these short texts can simulate a research process where multiple
references would be fused (Unit 6). They can also be used singly for Unit 1 or 4 writing.

What’s the difference between a “report” and an “essay”? How do we help a student move from simply

different essay models and a gradual method of building the analytical writer, you can feel confident in
training your students to be excellent essay writers.

Audio Download: Nurturing Competent Communicators
Many students think that good readers will naturally become good writers. Others think that writing
talent is just that--a natural ability--some have it others don't. Both are myths. History and modern
research show very clearly how good writers have developed, and what the two most critical things are
you can do as a parent to develop a high level of aptitude, from a young age and into high school. With
humor and insight, Andrew Pudewa will share the two easy but unbelievably powerful things you can do
to build language patterns and nurture competent communicators in your classroom.

Audio Download: Teaching Boys & Other Children Who Would Rather Make Forts All Day
Children like to do what they can do; they want to do what they think they can do, and they hate to do
what they think they cannot do. If you want excited and enthusiastic children who learn well, you must
understand these key laws of motivation, and focus on the essential requirement of relevancy. If it
matters, children will learn it, and if it doesn’t, they won’t. This session will enlighten you with specific
ways to find and create relevancy for children, even when they have no apparent interest.

Audio Download: The Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing
We’ve all suffered it at one time or another: Frustration about writing assignments. Either on the
receiving end, or perhaps now on the giving end, there can be a few distinctly discouraging aspects to
teaching and being taught writing. The tough questions include: What to correct and how to give a
grade? How much help is too much? Isn’t the assignment clear enough? Why don’t students find their
own errors? Learn and avoid four teaching mistakes that contribute to this frustration: Over-correcting,
Withholding Help, Unclear Assignments.
