Prepare Students for a Future in Science
Focusing on science topics that are accessible and familiar, Betsy Fulwiler uses interconnected video episodes, student work, and detailed classroom vignettes to take participants into the complexity of individual classrooms and the practices of skilled teachers. Seeing her approach in action is a powerful teaching tool, and the DVD, used in combination with the practical text, takes Writing in Science to a whole new level. Seeing really is believing. Writing in Science provides clear guidance and structures for classroom practice, with:specific strategies that can be immediately used in any classroom, step by step instruction on how to use each strategy, ideas for planning, modeling, scaffolding, and assessment, samples of student notebook entries with commentaries, and techniques for working with English language learners, emergent writers, and struggling students.
