Do I Really Have to Teach Reading?
In Cris Tovani's, Do I Really Have to Teach Reading, teachers can find protocols that focus on students writing in response to what they have read. It's more of an informal way to address writing in the content areas. This includes teaching strategies that will aid students in annotation and talking to the text.
Writing in Science in Action
Writing in Science in Action by Betsy Fulwiler gives examples of creating anchor charts, word walls, and how to incorporate writing with the use of experimental data. This text extends how to teach students to go through an experiment, analyze overall trends, and then use a structure to write about it.
