Don't Forget to Write for the Secondary Grades offers 50 creative writing lesson plans for mature young writers developed by the imaginative and highly acclaimed 826 National writing centers. These lessons cover a myriad of skills (developing characters and voice), interests (novel-writing, songwriting, screenwriting), and even interest levels. (Don't believe us? try out \"This Class Sucks\" or \"My Boring Life\" for those especially hard-to-reach writers.) Each unique lesson is written by educators, 826 volunteers, celebrated authors, actors, and writers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon't Forget to Write for the Secondary Grades\u003c\/i\u003e contains: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eA treasure trove of proven, field-tested lessons\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eLessons that are adaptable for all grade levels\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eTips to keep supplies and prep to a minimum\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvaluation rubrics to guide grading\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaps to the Common Core Standards\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book's activities are based on proven pedagogy that can help students develop the skills to organize their ideas, craft their arguments, revise their work, state their points of view, peer-edit a friend's work, and generally learn an awful lot about the hard work and craft of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e826 National is a nonprofit tutoring, writing, and publishing organization with locations in eight cities across the country.
