Teaching Students to Write Cohesively

A Practical Guide for Better Writing

Developed by Carol Jago

Author of Cohesive Writing

Why Concept Is Not Enough

In her HeinemannU course, Teaching Students to Write Cohesively, Carol Jago guides you through the important instructional strategies that help middle and secondary students write with focus and cohesion. With ideas and techniques drawn from her popular Cohesive Writing, Jago focuses on the types of essays students most commonly encounter in the classroom and on high-stakes tests—informational, persuasive, narrative, and literary analysis. In addition to giving you a better understanding of how to teach writing, Teaching Students to Write Cohesively also provides numerous teaching tools, including rubrics, editing guides, graphic organizers, and prompts, that can help you get started and communicate expectations to students.

With Teaching Students to Write Cohesively you'll:

explore the features of cohesive writing

understand the different demands of informational, persuasive and narrative writing, as well as literary analysis

learn methods for helping students get started and get organized

practice writing prompts that assist students rather than confuse them

examine ways of responding to student writing that teach as well as evaluate

discover resources on writing instruction available on the Web

design a writing assignment for a class you are teaching or plan to teach from inception to final product.
