Description

Discover a balanced approach to writing workshops in grades 3–9. The book's unique, hands-on activities are carefully designed to help students write with a concrete purpose and audience in mind, and complete assignments that are more focused and authentic. Organized around six writing genres — personal memoir, fictional narrative, informational report, opinion piece, procedural writing, and poetry — more than 50 mini-lessons deal with specific skills that will help students write effective fiction and nonfiction. To become fully and functionally literate, students must be exposed to a wide variety of texts. Give your students the skills they need to become more confident, successful writers.
