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.
