The classic of writing research - newly revised. Those who write have always read, seen images, and heard read-aloud stories. This also applies to elementary school children and beginner writers. When writing, they activate and modify patterns they have encountered as readers, viewers, or listeners. Writing based on prompts unleashes impressions, memories, experiences, and knowledge, interpreting and varying the provided material. "Texts and Contexts" offers a theoretical justification for a writing instruction that connects imagination and knowledge, demonstrating the correspondence between writing impulses and student texts through more than 200 examples. The new edition of the original version published in 1999 also incorporates current trends in (writing) research, such as the theory of image comprehension and the heterogeneity of the learning group, along with new prompts for writing and more.
