This two-book developmental writing series with help students become more effective and more confident writers by meeting students where they are and by helping them get to where they want to go. One of the authors' primary goals in teaching writing is to help their students explore how college writing can enhance students’ lives and help them achieve their goals, whether academic, professional, or beyond. Such exploration often begins with igniting a change in how our students look at writing. Far too often, students come to the first day of class thinking of the course as something simply to “get through,” something without any real connection to what goes on outside the classroom, when, in fact, writing is an essential part of their journey. With these goals in mind, the authors have written, developed, and student-tested Going Places (P→E), and its partner text On the Go (S→P), so you can meet students where they are and use writing to take them where they want to go. After all, engaged students and good writers do well in their classes; they retain content better and participate more fully. They use writing to learn and to share what they know. In addition, critical thinkers and good writers participate more fully in the workplace and are more likely to advance. Whatever their destination, effective writing will make a fundamental difference in each student’s journey.

One of the authors’ primary goals in teaching writing is to change the way their students look at writing. Far too often, students come to the first day of class thinking of the course as something simply to “get through,” something without any real connection to what goes on outside the classroom―either in their lives, in other courses, or in their jobs. In fact, writing is an essential part of their journey. Whatever their destination, effective writing will make a fundamental difference in where students go and what they do. As classroom teachers, the authors also know intimately the mechanical and grammatical challenges apparent in developmental writing. On the Go joins their theoretical grounding, owing much to the study of rhetoric and to their work with The National Writing Project, to their day-to-day research, consisting of a systematic collection and analysis of student writing samples. In short, both the theoretical and practical inform every page of this book.

On the Go: Sentence to Paragraph

McGraw–Hill Education

Too many students don't see themselves as "doers" and "makers" of authentic work in any of the disciplines of high school. No wonder, then, that they make no connection between high school coursework and their future lives and work. But what if we took advantage of our students' tremendous potential by designing environments in which they can unleash, develop, and publicly share their talents? Instead of "doing school"--working from textbook-driven, often contrived school subjects--what if students worked toward something closer to the public, energized achievements of accomplished adults? This book features educators in construction trades, English, math, and multidisciplinary teams who have created empowering disciplinary classrooms and projects that allow students, particularly those who are sometimes disenfranchised by the larger culture and current institutional structures, to gain new identities as makers and doers. Building on foundational work in authentic literacies and supported by NCTE's policy research brief Literacies of Disciplines, the authors center their examples in a continuum of disciplinary literacy learning, demonstrating how it can be used to look at and reconfigure lessons, units, courses, and programs. This book is proof that classrooms like these are indeed possible in all schools and educational settings. In fact, they are necessary if we expect today's students to successfully bridge the gulf between learning and doing.
