This month we are featuring the book,\u00a0Make Writing: 5 Teaching Strategies That Turn Writers Workshop Into a Maker Space, by\u00a0Angela Stockman. This book transforms writing into an active\u00a0hands-on experience. Students are encouraged to write as they create and invent. If you don&#8217;t have a makerspace in your classroom don&#8217;t worry, because Angela provides practical ideas for ways to create a makerspace.<\/p>\n<p>Angela helps teachers develop better student writers by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pushing our thinking about what writing is to begin with. We can&#8217;t reduce it to print. Especially now.<\/li>\n<li>Providing specific strategies that help kids write bit by bit, treating text as loose parts.<\/li>\n<li>Helping teachers recognize and engage the makers in their midst.<\/li>\n<li>Providing permission to get kids out of their seats and on their feet, where they can move, mix, and remix text in order to generate new ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Focusing on the culture we create in our classroom as well as the creative process, rather than perseverating on products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To learn more about integrating technology to support English language learners, attend our <a href=\"http:\/\/americantesol.com\/tesol-lectures.htm\">TESOL webinars<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to a new series where we feature great books for language learners and teachers.
