Writing Science Right! ― Strategies for Teaching Scientific and Technical Writing

Help your students improve their science understanding and communicate their knowledge more effectively. Writing Science Right shows you the best ways to teach content-area writing so that students can share their learning and discoveries through informal and formal writing assignments and oral presentations.

You’ll teach students how to…

• identify their audience and an appropriate organizational structure for their writing;
• achieve a readable style by knowing the reader’s background knowledge;
• build effective sentences and concise paragraphs;
• prepare and deliver oral presentations that bring content to life;
• use major science articles, abstracts, and summaries as mentor texts;
• and more!

Throughout the book, you’ll find a wide variety of sample articles and suggested assignments that you can use immediately. In addition, a list of additional teaching texts and resources are available on the Routledge website at www.routledge.com/9781138302679.
