Powerful Writing Structures
Brain pocket strategies for supporting a year-long writing program
Adrienne Gear
198 pp • ISBN 978-1-55138-344-6 • $28.95 • K-8 • 2020

This timely book uses thinking structures to deepen student writing. It revolves around “brain pockets” to help
students appreciate the qualities of different writing forms. Some powerful examples include memory pockets for
personal narrative writing, fact pockets for nonfiction, and imagination pockets for story writing. Detailed lesson
plans are featured, along with sample anchor books and book lists. Based on extensive classroom testing, student
samples throughout the book illustrate this unique approach to teaching writing. Suggestions for setting up an
effective writing program and assessment tips for guiding instruction complete this comprehensive approach to
developing a year-long writing program.
