New Realms for Writing, 2nd Edition: Inspire Student Expression with Digital Age Formats

By Michele Haiken

Assignments should be authentic, have real-world connections, and encourage students to create meaningful work. Students today consume information from a diverse set of texts: print books, ebooks, audiobooks, social and digital media, podcasts, videos, and even gaming. Classroom writing experiences should mirror these real-world texts and meet students where they're at.

The second edition of New Realms for Writing provides teachers with supports to help every student achieve excellence by including a variety of teacher-created lesson plans, graphic organizers, and digital tools. Each chapter presents inquiry units across disciplines that focus on writing skills and development while addressing digital technologies that support and advance students learning. The book addresses the latest research on the Science of Writing, developing critical literacy, incorporating AI into lesson plans, and much more.

Why should writing in school be stale, tedious, or inauthentic? Let's bring digital realms into the classroom to build on students' strengths and enable them to become creative communicators and compelling writers.
