Abstract	This dynamic resource offers teachers a new way to energize the teaching of writing while also meeting Common Core State Standards. The author draws on his unique background in education and media to provide this "all-in-one" resource to help teachers use the versatility of scriptwriting to motivate students and support literacy skills across the disciplines. Each chapter covers a different medium, outlining the writing skills required and providing practical tips, sample projects, standards alignment, and strategies for differentiated instruction. This book features: (1) Rationale, curricular connections, lessons, and projects to help teachers incorporate scriptwriting into their existing writing curriculum; (2) Annotated writing models, including one from the #1 New York Times bestselling civil rights memoir, "March"; (3) Suggestions for using assignments in the disciplines to process content and exhibit understanding; (4) Authentic connections to students' in-school and out-of-school literacies; (5) Easy-to-use sections, such as Why Teach This?, Skills Focus, Literacy Across the Disciplines, and The Writing Process; (6) Robust differentiated instruction, including specific strategies for English language learners and below-level students; (7) QuickStart lesson launchers to help both teachers and students become comfortable--and have fun--with scriptwriting; and (8) Appendices with additional resources, revision checklists, writing rubrics, and a glossary of media and script terms. (As Provided).
