The Writing Revolution 2.0 Book Study
Join us for a professional learning experience exploring Judith C. Hochman and Natalie Wexler's groundbreaking approach to writing instruction in The Writing Revolution 2.0: Advancing Thinking Through Writing. This book study will transform how you think about teaching writing across all subject areas and grade levels.
The Writing Revolution 2.0 presents a systematic, evidence-based method for teaching writing that focuses on the building blocks of effective composition. Rather than assigning writing without explicit instruction, this approach teaches students how to construct sentences, combine ideas, and organize their thoughts through specific, scaffolded techniques.
The authors demonstrate how writing instruction can serve as a powerful tool for learning across disciplines, helping students not just become better writers, but better thinkers. You'll explore practical strategies that can be immediately implemented in any classroom, regardless of subject area or student age. Participants will leave with a toolkit of specific, research-based strategies for teaching writing across subjects. Practical experience implementing these techniques with guided support from colleagues. A plan for systematically improving writing instruction in your classroom or school. Evidence of how better writing instruction leads to improved thinking and learning in all subjects.
