“they study authentic bills.

We wouldn’t give bankers a
counterfeit twenty

And give them another

And say, “That’s not it, either.”

How often am I guilty of feeding
students counterfeits?
![Page 11: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Is my feedback on papers showing
students what to do or what not
to do?

In 2007, the Carnegie
Corporation sponsored a study
on writing instruction called
Writing Next.

In the U.S., 7,000 kids drop out of school

every school day.

A large number of them are
basically illiterate.

Seventy-Percent of 4th-12th
graders are low-achieving writers.

Literacy

Crisis

One of the 11 methods the study found effective

was imitation of models
![Page 23: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Here’s an example:
![Page 24: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“His room smelled of
cooked grease, Lysol, and age.”
--Maya Angelou
![Page 25: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“His room smelled.”
![Page 26: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Students, what’s the difference?
![Page 27: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Yes, the first one is more detailed.
What else do you notice?
![Page 28: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Here’s my version of Angelou’s sentence:
![Page 30: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Frank’s backpack
smelled of warm cinnamon gum,
Axe, and desperation.
![Page 31: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Discuss with a classmate: What are differences
between my version and Angelou’s?
![Page 32: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Similarities?
![Page 33: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Now, write your own version.

This academic discussion could
lead to talk/practice of

serial commas
![Page 36: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
concrete and abstract nouns
![Page 37: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
voice and tone
![Page 38: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
story ideas
![Page 39: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
proper nouns
![Page 40: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
And the whole time, students are staring at
and re-shaping the work of a master writer.
![Page 41: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
It changes their writing. It will
sink in.
![Page 42: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The same way students
remember when a class clown
yells, “Jackson is on the five-dollar bill!”
![Page 43: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Isn’t he?
![Page 44: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Right, wrong, or ridiculous,
![Page 45: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
We can’t always erase the
mistakes once kids absorb
them.
![Page 46: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
So, why do I spend precious
class time looking at mistakes?
![Page 47: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Telling someone they’re wrong is
not teaching.
![Page 48: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Showing them what’s amazing could give them
a place to launch.
![Page 49: Jeff Anderson Condensed](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070511/589fe87a1a28abf3238b62cb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Of course, the best methods
are usually mixtures of a
few.
