Our 2024 edition, designed to include all content areas, contains passages and strategies to help teachers guide students to writing success across-the-curriculum. It begins with the JSWP™ terminology, color-coding, and chants for students to apply a common language for writing no matter what classroom they enter. Section 2 focuses on summary writing, where students learn how to write the main idea of texts as well as discern specific, relevant, and appropriate evidence, which supports the main idea and communicates new learning. Moving to Section 3, teachers will work with students in producing short constructed responses and paragraphs. Students will learn the skill of citing evidence (concrete details) through embedded quotations from primary and secondary resources as well as generating insightful analysis. Finally, Section 4 evolves to essays, including how to teach the thesis statement and develop introductions and conclusions. Teachers also learn how to write effective prompts and have access to multiple samples and activities for students.
