Description
“I know what to say, I just don't know how to say it." –Juliette, a 6th-Grade Student
Haven't we all been there? The well thought out ACE short response writing method is taught in mini-lessons for Grades 3 and up, with the purpose of teaching writers how to get “unstuck" and use their knowledge to construct clear responses. ACE stands for “Answering" the question, “Citing" the evidence, and “Elaborate" on your thinking. By using this method, students from all academic backgrounds can learn to think more critically and realize they know more than they think. In this book there are teaching instruction and models, and reproducible student pages and templates for students. Once mastered, the ACE method is easily adaptable for writing responses about any subject. Standardized test writing and strategies are also included. ~Judy
