Book desription: Rowman & Littlefield Education, 2008. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Kafalas, a veteran English teacher, outlines a step-by- step, year-long teaching plan, based on the workshop model, for middle and secondary English teachers. Designed to reach all students, even those who are struggling, the plan focuses on developing reading fluency, improving essay and research paper writing, and integrating literature in the classroom. Kafalas counters some of the myths about workshop classes, then describes key elements of the workshop class, such as choice and ownership of reading and writing and the writer's notebook. He gives advice on grading, performance-based exams, portfolios and assessment, and starting the school year in the workshop model. Numerous examples of assignments, worksheets, and completed work are included. There is no subject index. (©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
