Book Talk: The Writing Revolution

We would love to hear from you! Send us a message (if you'd like a reply, email us at literacypodcast@greatminds.org)

Melissa and Lori talk about The Writing Revolution by Dr. Judith Hochman and Natalie Wexler. What distinguishes The Writing Revolution and everything else out there? There are two basic principles: 

  1. To modulate the heavy cognitive load by beginning at the sentence level. 
  2. To embed the writing activities into core content of curriculum so students attain knowledge needed (about knowledge building, about reading - and writing -  for understanding) 

Listen and learn more about knowledge and explicit writing instruction.
