Write With Me

Taylor & Francis

Hamilton Holt, editor of The Independent, collected these touching autobiographies of ordinary people--new immigrants and sharecroppers, cooks and fishermen, women and men working in sweatshops, in the city, and on the land. First published in 1906, and reissued a decade ago, this new edition of Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans is expanded to include lives Holt did not include in his original selection, as well as a new preface by Werner Sollors. > \nIn this book, teacher and author Lynda Wade Sentz presents innovative strategies for involving parents in their children\uFFFDs writing instruction. Elementary school teachers can use these strategies to expand writing instruction into the home and enlist parents as \""writing role models\"" who help to reinforce classroom learning. \nDesigned for use in conjunction with your current writing program, these activities are engaging and enjoyable. They include the Partner Journal and the Partner Scrapbook, along with several other.
