Teaching Language Arts A Student and Response Centered Classroom

BCC for Cox: Teaching Language Arts: A Student and Response Centered Classroom, 6/e Renowned for its authoritative, comprehensive coverage of the contemporary language arts classroom, the sixth edition of Teaching Language Arts provides a balance of student-centered and teacher-directed instruction that includes many examples from today's classrooms. The Sixth Edition Continues to Garner Praise From Your Colleagues: I appreciate attention to all of the English Language Arts communication areas, model lessons, and links to standards. It just keeps getting better and better over time, which is a credit to the author. -Mary F. Heller, Kansas State University It includes information on emergent biliteracy and on ELL in more depth than other textbooks I have previewed. -Colleen Walker, Fayette State University The textbook does a fine job of emphasizing research-based best practices and an integrated approach to language arts instruction. This text provides practical teaching ideas that students can read today and put to use tomorrow. -Adriana L. Medina, University of Miami It is well organized and has a greater emphasis on writing, writing across the curriculum, ELL, and technology than any other language arts text Ive seen recently. I think the author has made a tremendous effort to make the connection between language arts and other areas of curriculum explicit and natural. - Wanda L. Calvert, Clemson University Whats new in the sixth edition? New Chapter 9, Genres of Reading and Writing, focuses on how to read and write in the different genres. Heavily revised Chapter 14, Language Across the Curriculum, focuses on integrating the different subjects within the language arts curriculum. Assessing and Differentiating Instruction sections in chapters 3-14 offer additional suggestions for assessing all students. New Differentiating Instruction feature in each chapter offers additional suggestions on how to modify instruction for ELLs and struggling readers and writers.Cox, Carole is the author of 'Teaching Language Arts A Student and Response Centered Classroom', published 2007 under ISBN 9780205542604 and ISBN 0205542603.
