Everyday Editing - Inviting Students to Develop Skill and Craft in Writer Workshop

Written in Jeff’s characteristically witty style, this refreshing and practical guide offers an overview of his approach to editing within the writing workshop as well as ten detailed sets of lessons covering everything from apostrophes to serial commas. These lessons can be used throughout the year to replace Daily Oral Language or error-based editing strategies with a more effective method for improving student writing.

The Words You Should Know - David Olsen

Many of the words in this book are words you hear all the time and probably know in context, but you might not necessarily know the strict definition of them. David Olsen allows you to understand and master these words instead of somewhat knowing them, allowing you to use them with confidence.
 
 
 
The Words You Should Know is a useful book for students studying for the SAT or for adults looking to brush up on their word skills. Like many of the books I’ve detailed here on Word Skit, The Words You Should Know is a nice book to have laying around the house. Anytime you need some light reading, you can pick it up and learn a few words, then toss it aside until the next time you’ve got a minute or two.

Space, Time, and the Use of Language - An Investigation of Relationships

Does temporal language depend on spatial language? This widespread view is intuitively appealing since spatial and temporal expressions are often similar or identical. Also, metaphors consistently express temporal phenomena in terms of spatial language, pointing to a close semantic and conceptual relationship. But what about the application of the two kinds of linguistic expressions in natural discourse?


The book draws together findings on terms that describe the relation of objects or events to each other (such as in front / behind, before / after, etc.), highlighting the relationship between cognition and language usage.


Using the method of cognitively motivated discourse analysis, novel empirical results are presented to complement earlier findings. The detailed investigation of a selected range of terms that appear to be parallel in space and time highlights both similarities and fundamental differences in their application.

With the field of assessment a key focus for research the world over, the traditional issues of the topic, such as validity and reliability, have been joined by a host of other issues all pressing for attention.
