Continuing the Journey 2

Becoming a Better Teacher of Authentic Writing

About this book

Ken Lindblom and Leila Christenbury return with the second volume in the Continuing the Journey series, this time focusing on authentic writing instruction for middle and high school classrooms.

The authors draw on what research has taught them about writing—concepts deeply rooted in personal identity and real-world experience—and why we must teach writing accurately, effectively, and fearlessly. As in the previous volume, the book includes visits to an ideal Teachers' Lounge, featuring highly experienced colleagues and well-known researchers in English teaching.

Topics covered include:

  • Responding to student writing
  • Handling the paper load
  • Teaching grammar and usage in the context of writing
  • Seeking real-world feedback

Although once again focusing on a veteran English teacher audience, Lindblom and Christenbury provide a wealth of information, advice, and resources that will help teachers at any stage of their careers better support their students' writing both in and out of school.

About Continuing the Journey
Continuing the Journey is a five-book series on advanced approaches to teaching English language arts. Written for veteran teachers by Leila Christenbury and Ken Lindblom, the books include "From the Teachers' Lounge, " an innovative feature that honors the expertise of both colleagues from the field and highly regarded scholars. Topics addressed in the series include literature and informational texts; language and writing; listening, speaking, and presenting; digital literacies; and living the professional life of a veteran teacher.
