Four Square Writing Method: A Unique Approach to Teaching Basic Writing Skills for Grades 4-6

Rating:
Summary: A Useful Tool
Review: This is a very practical, useful book for teachers working with writers grades 4-8. The 4-square method offers a simple, yet innovative graphic organizer which my students (7th grade reg. ed. and grades 5-8 learning dis./lang. impaired) found extremely easy to understand and use. The method is also helpful in notetaking from text or narrative, and the authors give some lesson ideas across curriculums.

The graphics are serviceable, but seem more appropriate for younger students.
