5.0 out of 5 stars Something to inspire every teacher to get their students to effectively express themselves, 31 Aug 2006
By Farz_B (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting the Buggers to Write (Paperback)
I have heard of the series written by the author, including the well-known title 'Getting the Buggers to Behave'. These books are in almost every trainee teacher's reading list, and it isn't difficult to see why.

Sue Cowley's clear, inspiring writing takes you into the practical setting that is the classroom and converts useful tips that can be used just when you need them. It does not tire readers down with inapplicable theory or hard to implement techniques. It is an inspiring read, full of creative ideas, and genuinely covers what beginning teachers (and indeed experienced teachers needing a boost) look for in getting their class motivated to write. Different areas are covered in separate sections, clearly, making it relatively easy to refer back when needed. Content ranges from giving students a reason to write to employing successful techniques to improve their writing, and from creating the right mood to write in and writing that is relevant to them, to giving effective feedback for improvement.

Definitely one for English teachers to use almost everyday, in classroom techniques, lesson plan ideas and at those tough essay times, including before exam revisions. Other non-English teachers will also benefit from the book when their students need to complete any written assignment at all.
