Rhythm, rhyme, and rap are powerful hooks that spark students' interests and engage them in learning. This innovative resource provides effective strategies for incorporating rhyme and rhythm-based activities and lessons into Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Math instruction. Through the use of music, singing, student- and teacher-created raps, Reader's Theater, Freeze Frames, and historical songs, students will develop their literacy skills, master content-specific knowledge, and be more likely to retain information while meeting standards goals.

Communicating ideas and information is what makes writing meaningful—yet many upper elementary and middle school students write in a vacuum, without considering the aims of their writing or the needs of their readers. This highly informative, teacher-friendly book presents a fresh perspective on writing instruction along with practical methods for the classroom. Teachers learn ways to promote the skills and strategies needed to write and revise effectively in a range of genres: personal narratives, fiction, and poetry; persuasive, explanatory, and "how-to" writing; and writing for high-stakes tests. Special features include vivid classroom vignettes, examples of student work, evaluation guidelines, and suggested "mentor texts" that model different genres.
