Description:

The heart of The Stack the Deck Writing Program is teaching four sentence manipulatory skills ­ combining, rearranging, subtracting, and expanding. Mastery of these skills will not only improve your students' syntactic fluency but also provide them with a writer's vocabulary that will aid them in revising a composition.

Folders:

Two folders are available for observing and assessing student growth in writing: a primary folder. (Explore the Deck and Discover the Deck) and a folder for grades 3 - 12 ( Check the Deck through Master the Deck).

The primary folder (WF200) contains the following items: a record of all stories students have written, a record of poems, letters, reports, and book students can write, a ME WEB for listing potential stories, and a sheet of skills students have learned to use.

The grades 3 through 12 folder (WF100) contains the following: correction symbols for revising and proofreading, a record of all student writings completed, a list of the writing modes and the main characteristics of each one, rubrics with a complete criteria and descriptors of the key traits of successful writing, student portfolio selections including pieces collected, student input, and teacher comments.

Posters:

Ten writing posters (11 x 17) are available that are simple and straightforward. They serve as a constant reminder of the key concepts and practical ideas incorporated in the textbooks and reinforce the writer's vocabulary.
