Composing Print, Digital, and Multimodal Texts in Classrooms provides pre-service and practicing teachers in grades K-8 with an innovative approach to teaching language arts in the 21st century that supports literacy goals and encourages multimodal composition. The text is grounded in research, including proper theoretical foundations and current frameworks in the field. The chapters are organized around national literacy standards for instruction, as well as current trends in the field. Opening chapters explore traditional versus nontraditional ways to teach students writing skills, English language arts, writer's workshop, genre workshops, genre study, and the creation of collaborative writing communities. Additional chapters provide various strategies for writing across the curriculum, small group writing instruction, minilessons, and standard classroom and community writing practices. Readers learn about social justice composing, which includes emphasis on blogging, critical media literacy, and critical literacies. The text offers strategies for revision and editing with focus on written and digital feedback. The closing chapter underscores the importance of writing assessment. Throughout, readers are provided with literature recommendations, lesson plans, reflection questions, and activities to deepen the learning experience. Designed to support contemporary literacy development, Composing Print, Digital, and Multimodal Texts in Classrooms is an essential resource for courses and programs in education.
