"This book will make the case for multiple, diverse kinds of analysis to be taught in the high school English classroom. In addition to showing what written analysis looks like "in the wild," the authors will provide readers with a framework of fundamental analytical skills for instruction. Importantly, Marchetti and O'Dell will advocate for framing analytical writing around students' (of all levels and abilities) passions and expertise. And just as they do in their previous Heinemann book, Writing with Mentors, they will share resources for bringing many different kinds of analytical writing into the classroom"--
"Allison Marchetti and Rebekah O'Dell invite you to join them on a transformational journey. Out of the dark tunnel of boring literary analysis assignments, they lead you into a world where students learn to write fresh, compelling, authentic arguments based on their own unique interests. "There is a place for analysis of literature in our classrooms," they write. "But we think there is more. In this book, we invite you to explore your teaching of analytical writing from a new perspective. To open your mind to the real world of analytical writing, and challenge traditional notions about what students should be analyzing and how they should write it." Allison and Rebekah offer a broadened definition of analysis for the 21st century classroom. "Analysis is everywhere," they argue. "Itâ??s about video games and athletesâ?? seasons, and the latest album, or the new Netflix series." This new definition of "text" allows students to tap into their passions--and learn to write with expertise on topics that matter to them. "No matter where your students begin as writers--full of confidence or full of avoidance--unleashing them to explore the topics and texts they are passionate about can transform your classroom and transform their writing." With samples throughout the book, youâ??ll see what students of all levels and experiences can do when theyâ??re supported with mentor texts, targeted writing instruction, and the opportunity to write beyond literary analysis." -- Publisher's description Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The authors start with just enough composition theory and explain quite convincingly why students need to learn how to write analysis about more than literature alone. Contemporary theories of writing pedagogy are founded on the notion that students learn how to write by composing authentic pieces of writing for a genuine purpose and for a specific, genuine audience. This book extrapolates that foundational pedagogical theory and demonstrates precisely how teachers can support students as they write about subjects they are passionate about—music, television, movies, video games, sports, etc.
The second section of this text focuses on four crucial elements of powerful writing—passion, ideas, structure, and authority. Within these four chapters, Marchetti and O’Dell masterfully connect theory and practice as they ground pedagogical principles such as “transfer” and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development within the context of popular culture that permeates students’ lives. The activities and strategies they discuss in this section and in the final section of the text are engaging and practical—ready to be implemented in a variety of instructional contexts.
Peppered with numerous examples from student writing and professional mentor texts, this book holds great promise for pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and teacher educators. I’ll be using it in my Advanced Composition course this semester. (
