In \"Making Nonfiction from Scratch,\" bestselling PD and children’s book author Ralph Fletcher offers a candid critique of how non-fiction writing is often taught in schools and gives teachers the inspiration and strategies they need to help their students write authentic non-fiction.    Skilled non-fiction writers draw on strategies, techniques, and craft found in other genres: poetry, comedy, even mystery. Without those elements, non-fiction would be dry and dull. \"Making Nonfiction from Scratch\" helps bring all of those aspects together and shows how each genre can enrich non-fiction writing.    Ralph Fletcher emphasizes the power of choice, mentor texts, and non-fiction read-alouds in making non-fiction an everyday part of classrooms. Classroom Connection sections throughout the book suggest immediate, practical strategies for putting the ideas in the book to use. Two case studies and a chapter on the dos and don’ts of non-fiction writing instruction round out this short, practical book.    Any informational writing should be insightful, accurate, and well organized, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Ralph invites teachers to make their classroom a place where students can create delicious non-fiction full of passion, voice, and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43664531030076,"sku":null,"price":43.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781625310125.jpg?v=1762976320","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/making-nonfiction-from-scratch-30244","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
