Writing Tools - Roy Peter Clark - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Writing Tools - Roy Peter Clark - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

"Begin sentences with subjects and verbs," is the first tool in Roy Peter Clark’s Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer . "Own the tools of your craft," the last. Pithy, entertaining, and always straight-to-the-point, Writing Tools sandwiches 48 more useful tools in-between, on "Nuts and Bolts" (words and sentences) "Special Effects" (tricks of the trade), "Blueprints" (organizational strategies), and "Useful Habits" for successful writers. Informed by Clark’s thirty years as a teacher, writer, and journalist, every tool bears the stamp of his experience and lighthearted wisdom—from the usefulness of the suggestions (Tool 14: "Get the name of the dog") to the clarity of the prose itself. As fun to read as it is hands-on practical, it can be enjoyed straight-through or used as a reference as students draft, revise, and edit. Spiral-bound, the College Edition lays flat as students work at the computer, and at $16.95 suggested retail (after bookstore mark-up), Writing Tools is considerably less expensive than traditional writing textbooks. With over 30,000 copies sold to the mass-market, the College Edition is the perfect book to accompany a more comprehensive textbook, or for classrooms that don’t use a traditional text at all.

Qualitative Data Collection Tools - Felice D. Billups - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Qualitative Data Collection Tools - Felice D. Billups - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Qualitative Data Collection Tools is a new and unique supplementary text that will guide students and new researchers to design, develop, pilot, and employ qualitative tools in order to collect qualitative data. An often-omitted subject in general qualitative textbooks, qualitative tools form the backbone of the data collection process. Students and new researchers are frequently left to create their own qualitative tools from scratch, an unnecessary hurdle in the qualitative research design process. Author Felice D. Billups has used her experience as a qualitative researcher, and in teaching and advising students about qualitative research, to develop the templates in this book as a starting point for readers conducting original qualitative research. The author briefly describes each method of data collection and offers readers suggestions for using and adapting the qualitative instrument templates within the text. Templates of interview protocols, focus group moderator guides, content analysis tools, document analysis tools, reflective questionnaires, diary and journal logs, and observational rubrics give the reader either a cut-and-paste solution for their own research or a starting point to design their own personalized qualitative tools. The first three chapters illuminate the qualitative data collection process and the role each type of qualitative tool plays in that process. The next six chapters provide detailed guides and numerous templates for each qualitative data collection method, covering interviews, focus groups, conversation and discourse analysis, observations, document analysis, field notes, journaling, and other reflective practices. A final chapter pulls together the multifaceted nature of qualitative research design and connects each tool back to the methodology to ensure trustworthiness and rigor in the data collection and instrument development process. Exemplars populate the appendices, offering readers concrete inspiration for ways to use and adapt the tools provided. If you have ever puzzled over how to best to design qualitative tools in order to guide and structure your qualitative data collection, or if you are embarking on your first qualitative study, Qualitative Data Collection Tools will give you a practical starting point to help make your qualitative data collection process easier and more organized.

Tools Students Need to Be Skillful Writers - Phyllis Hostmeyer - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Diagram no more—inspire all your student writers! Imagine leaving behind the drudgery of diagramming sentences. Imagine, instead, joyful writers who are capable of revising their work and writing effectively. By taking writing down to its basic building block—a solid sentence—and advancing from there, students will develop confidence, enjoy creating sentences, and ultimately empower each other as writers. Lessons for Grades 3-12 include: - A variety of sentence patterns presented in a logical sequence - An explanation of each pattern′s structure and conventions - Reinforcement activities and sample sentences for each pattern - Activities to develop the necessary instructional vocabulary As students become engaged in the process, they will work toward: - Meeting the Common Core State Standards for Language Arts - Understanding and using basic sentence structures - Recognizing what makes a sentence effective - Learning to put sentences together to write effective paragraphs This indispensable handbook serves as a blueprint for instruction and unit development by emphasizing the end goal: preparing students to be effective writers. Along the way, all students, including English language learners, will gain the fluency and automaticity needed for effective daily writing and for success on high-stakes tests. "Hostmeyer provides the tools teachers need to make grammar instruction meaningful and engaging so students build the knowledge they need to craft not only sentences, but strong pieces of writing that meet the demands of the Common Core ." —Carol Gallegos, Literacy CoachHanford Elementary School District, Hanford, CA "The author′s knowledge of how students learn, passion for finding ways to teach sentence patterns, and willingness to share those strategies with the world all combine to make this a book that every writing teacher can use ." —Norma Barber, Language Arts TeacherUkiah School District 80R, Ukiah, OR
