Description

Book Synopsis

Classroom-tested strategies for successful teaching of the writing process!

Michael Degen, Ph.D., College Board consultant and winner of the 2001 Outstanding Teaching of the Humanities Award: Students do not become better writers by completing a series

of writing assignments with little teacher feedback and no option for revision. They learn to write better if the teacher models the assignment, states directions clearly, offers opportunities for students to practice the skills necessary to achieve high expectations, provides specific feedback toward improvement,

and requires students to revise written work after thoroughly instructing them in the revision process.
