Text Structures From Fairy Tales Truisms That Help Students Write About Abstract Concepts . . . and Live Happily Ever After, Grades 4-12

Put text structures to work and soon your students will be writing happily ever after. Award-winning authors Gretchen Bernabei and Judi Reimer make teaching to write about abstract concepts easy and fun. Thirty-five lessons centered on classic fairy tales give students the focused practice they need to produce effective analytical writing on demand—and in any situation. Designed to be used by students of all ages, each lesson includes a writing prompt and a planning framework that leads students to organize writing through a text structure. With practice, students move from dependency on teacher guidance to becoming autonomous designers of their own analytical writing.
