Publisher Description: The writing lessons in this book are organized to quickly unpack the detail move, explain when and why the strategy works well, share how I have taught it to my students, and offer ways to make it your own. Have you ever told a writer to add more details, only to see their writing get longer not better? That's why Roz Linder wrote The Big Book of Details.

Contributor Bio(s): Linder, Rozlyn: - For Rozlyn Linder, watching students grow as learners was the only thing more inspiring than watching teachers grow as professionals. As a literacy specialist, a blogger, a high-demand consultant, the author of the Heinemann title The Big Book of Details, and author of the bestselling Chart Sense series, Roz loved to help colleagues take complicated research and turn it into classroom-ready teaching ideas. Her early passing was a huge loss to teachers and students everywhere. We at Heinemann miss her joy, her kindness, and her wonderful laughter. We wish we'd had more time to spend with her and more chances to share her work with teachers. |
