We just finished a live webinar hosted by Brenda Sherry of the Upper Grand D.S.B. on the topic of Motivating Boy Writers.
Brenda hosted an Adobe Connect on-line meet-up where we talked about some of the research on boys writing and looked at a few book titles that you may wish to purchase or check out from the library.
Here are the book titles from the keynote.
Reading Don't Fix No Chevys - M.W. Smith and J.D. Wilhelm
Going with the Flow - M.W. Smith and J.D. Wilhelm
Engaging Readers and Writers with Inquiry - J.D. Wilhelm
Boy Writers - Ralph Fletcher
The Trouble with Boys - Peg Tyre
Boy Smarts - Barry Macdonald
On-line Resources:
1. Caroline Daly's research review of Boys Non-Fiction writing and some related research on how the use of visual media and ICT can assist boys to write non-fiction.
2. Amy Dahm's Text Forms for Writing Matrix
3. Jeff Wilhelm's matrix for developing rich technology enhanced summative tasks.

ReplyDeleteRoger,
ReplyDeleteTerrific. If you get a few moments either during the process or after completion, send along some of the writing. I'd be interested in reading them.
Thanks...
