Make Writing: 5 Teaching Strategies That Turn Writer's

Make Writing: 5 Teaching Strategies That Turn Writer's Workshop Into a Maker Space (Hack Learning Series)
What happens when creative writing meets the maker space?

Easy! Writing and making collide, revealing the genius inside of even theÂ most reluctant writers.

In Make Writing, everyone's favorite education blogger and writing coach, Angela Stockman,Â turns teaching strategies and practice upside down. She spills youÂ out of your chair, shreds yourÂ lined paper, and launches you and your writer's workshop into the maker space! Who even knew this was possible? In classic Hack Learning style, Stockman provides fiveÂ right-now writing strategiesÂ that reinvent instruction and inspire both young and adult writers to expressÂ ideas with tools and in ways that have rarely, if ever, been considered.
Combining Making and Writing

Many schools areÂ converting classrooms to maker spaces--vibrant places where students demonstrate learningÂ by constructing things, applying newly-learned skills and concepts. With inspired creativity and ingenuity, Stockman shows you how to bringÂ modern maker movesÂ into yourÂ writer's workshop, giving birth to a new environment that rocketsÂ writers to places that were previouslyÂ unimaginable. Make Writing is a fast-paced journey inside Stockman's Young Writer's Studio, alongside students who learn how to write and how to make, employing Stockman's unique teaching methods.
