[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page summary, review and critique of Irene C. Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell’s resource text “Guiding Readers and Writers (Grades 3-6)”. Irene C. Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell’s resource text “Guiding Readers and Writers (Grades 3-6): Teaching Comprehension, Genre, and Content Literacy” (2000) provides the next essential teaching steps in the educational process after their introductory reading and writing texts for the earlier grades. This text addresses the unique and more mature content handled in the later elementary grades while it “explores all the essential components of quality literacy programs in six separate sections: breakthrough to literacy; independent reading; guided reading; literature study; teaching for comprehension and word analysis; and, the reading and writing connection”. The writers have different focus and targets intended to benefit from this book; the teachers and the students as it will help teachers educate students how to “discover their voices as writers and refine their instincts as readers” and will establish a foundation for teachers to attain this goal. Overall, the book provides a highly comprehensive and more importantly, practical application of the methods they outline which also includes many resource materials for direct application to the learning environment from which teachers will highly benefit. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Four-Blocks Literacy Framework: Literature Review
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. Reaching and teaching all students in today's troubled academic climate - no matter their (in)capacity to learn - has presented quite a challenge for educators who are often faced with the responsibility of instructing many different types of students within a single classroom. Various methods have been introduced as a means by which to address a system whereby at-risk students fall through the cracks because of not being taught in a way they understand, however, not all have demonstrated a true ability to overcome the struggle. Drs. Dorothy Hall and Patricia Cunningham recognize how all children do not learn alike and therefore require "substantial instruction to support the learning personalities of all students" (Hall et al, 2001), which is why they developed the Four-Blocks Literacy Model. As a "multilevel, balanced literacy framework" (Hall et al, 2001), Four-Blocks incorporates four separate components into each day's lesson plans that instruct children as to how they can read, write and spell better, an approach that focuses upon the academic diversity found in today's schools. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Frances Fitzgerald's "America Revised: History Schoolbooks In The Twentieth Century"
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. School history texts can sometimes read like a bestselling fictional novel under the guise of being authentic accounts. The reason that such discrepancies even exist in what is supposed to be a chronological compilation of what actually occurred in the past is, according to author Frances Fitzgerald, a combination of various movements throughout the decades as well as the political and literary license inherent to textbook publishing.
