Teachers' Resource Book 2 (New ed)

PM Writing has been specifically developed for use in the early years of schooling. "The PM Writing Teachers' Resource Books" have been developed to explicitly teach writing skills and knowledge across a range of student abilities in the first three years of schooling.

The specific learning tasks included in the program make it appropriate for the whole class, small-group or individual teaching and learning sessions. Each "Teachers' Resource Book" contains: comprehensive lesson plans based on the exemplars for teaching and writing, levelled exemplar texts, student books and Interactive writing pro formas; theme-based lesson plans; listening and speaking activities; writing assessment guidelines; an analysis of writing samples across the three key stages of early writing development - early, developing and consolidating/extending; scope and sequence of learning outcomes in the first three years of school; links to other books within the PM collection; PM Writing Interactive Writing Pro Formas (on CD-ROM) - featuring scaffolded pro formas for each of the key text types, ideal for whole-class and small-group use on interactive whiteboards and data projectors; and PM Writing Lesson Planner (on CD-ROM) - allowing teachers to organise lesson plans and assign small-group reading and writing tasks to students. It also contains PM Writing Teaching in Practise (on DVD) - featuring indexed professional development videos that demonstrate teaching strategies for whole-class modelled and small-group guided writing sessions.
