Writing for Life motivates students by using real-life situations to answer the question “what’s the point” and uses unique visual representations of the writing process to make it accessible to developmental writers.

 

This revolutionary text will transform the developmental classroom — and transform students’ writing and lives.  With a ground-breaking design developed in conjunction with Dorling Kindersley Publishers (DK) that makes writing, reading and thinking processes visible, Writing for Life shows the processes rather than just telling students about them. Highly graphic layouts and unique visual pedagogy empower students to transfer the learning strategies they already use in interpreting the visual world to the task of writing.  The book’s contents and features, carefully crafted and tested, reflect author D.J. Henry’s 25 years of classroom experience and her studies into learning theory research, making it a powerful, relevant tool for teaching writing.
